Whereas, the Limestone County Commission has deep concerns about the needs of its citizens and the services that must be provided to allow Limestone County to achieve its potential
in areas of industrial growth, environment and land use; and

Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Alabama drafted in 1901, containing over 175,000 words,
over 600 amendments and 20 times as long as the United States Constitution is outdated
and lacking in mechanisms that allow local governments to address issues; and

Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Alabama gives broad powers to legislative bodies,
earmarks 90% of the State revenue and provides for an inadequate tax system.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, the Limestone County Commission supports
by resolution constitutional change by
constitutional convention and ratified by Alabama voter referendum.

Adopted this 7th day of April, 2003

David Seibert, Chairman
Tommy Raby, Jr. - District I Commissioner
Gerald Barksdale - District II Commissioner
