WHEREAS, the City of Brooklyn Center in 1991 had Local

WHEREAS, Governor Carlson's current budget reduction plan
calls for an additional cut of $595,570 in Brooklyn Center's amount

in significant reductions crippling vital services;

3. Requests our State Representatives and Senator to
oppose the Governor's current plan and any further
