RESOLUTION SUPPORTING LEGISLATION TO AUTHORIZE
CIGARETTE TAX IN GENERAL LAW CITIES
WHEREAS, Legislation was previously approved by
the Legislature to authorize General Law Cities to levy a
cigarette tax, and
WHEREAS, 36 Charter Cities embracing half of the
municipal population in California now levy such a tax, and
WHEREAS, there is a pressing revenue need in all
cities which could be partially alleviated by a tax on
cigarettes, and
WHEREAS, there is no reason why citizens in General
Law Cities should be discriminated against by having their
Governments forced to raise such needed revenue in other
manners such as the property tax;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council
of the City of National City, that this Council goes on rec-
ord as urging this Legislature to pass and the Governor to
sign Assembly Bill 399 to allow General Law Cities to levy
such a cigarette tax.
