A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
HUNTINGTON BEACH URGING THE REPEAL OF THE FEDERAL
ESTATE TAX
WHEREAS, the Federal Estate Tax imposes an unfair burden
on middle income taxpayers while at the same time exempts lower
income taxpayers, and various legal processes enable the upper
level income taxpayers to avoid such tax; and
Government should not profit from any law which cannot be
administered fairly and equitably; and
The monies derived from the Federal Estate Tax do not off-
set the expense of collecting such tax,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Huntington Beach that it urges repeal of the Federal
Estate tax, and to this end solicits the support of the League
of California Cities, the Southern California Association of
Governments , the National League of Cities, the United States
Congress , and President Reagan.
PASSED AND ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of
Huntington Beach at a regular meeting thereof held on the 16th
day of March 1981.
