CONSTITUTION RELATING TO ALLOCATION OF GAS TAX FUNDS
WHEREAS, the gasoline tax is levied upon highway users to provide funds for

Vital importance to business, industry, and the entire econamy and future
development of California; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of
Downey does resolve as follows:
SECTION 1. That the City Council supports the provision of Article XXVI
of the California Constitution which protects gasoline tax funds against diversion
to other than highway purposes, and urges that no substantive amendments be
made which would change such Constitutional provision.
SECTION 2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
Resolution.
APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 13th day of April, 1970.
