develop a .common proposal for the 1989 legislative session . Based <br /> on the 1987 and 1988 tax and school funding bills , counties and <br /> school districts are committing to a significant effort for <br /> additional funding in 1989 , probably at the expense of cities . This <br /> is primarily possible because of the elimination of Homestead <br /> Credit in 1990 in favor of an aid type program. Since the suburbs <br /> are at the greatest risk if Homestead Credit is exchanged for aid , <br /> it is paramount that a strong effort be made to restore the <br /> Homestead Credit . <br /> The data base or information which should result from this one time <br /> effort will help assure that the professional staffs of AMM and MLC <br /> that represent the suburban cities will be on an equal footing with <br /> other city lobbyists in the state during the 1989 session . Without <br /> the availability of this information and a unified position <br /> supported by all . cities , success in protecting the suburban interest <br /> is in doubt. <br /> Please, strongly consider this request with your council and reply <br /> using the enclosed pledge sheet or verbally no later than Wednesday, <br /> October 5, 1988 to the AMM Office. If you have any questions , call <br /> Vern or Roger at 227-4008. <br /> Respectfully, <br /> Gary Bastian , President Richard Wedell , President <br /> Association of Metr-opolitan Municipal Legislative <br /> Municipalities Commission <br />
