Dear Board Members:
Enclosed is a copy of a resolution adopted by the Amador County Board of Supervisors on June 14, 1994
in support of Senate Joint Resolution 44 which asserts the claims of the State of California to sovereignty
under the 10th amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America.-
Please consider adopting a similar resolution showing your support of this very important State/Federal
issue. Perhaps if the State is successful in enforcing this amendment against the Federal government,
they may be more inclined to fund mandates that they give to our County governments.
Thank you for your consideration to this matter.
Sincerely,
Edward T. Bamert
Chairman
