p tition among the cities and the County for business enterprises
w ich pr duce sales tax revenues, and
WHEREAS, competition is often so vigorous that it results
i i11og cal proliferation and location of regional shopping
c nters, attempted piracy of industries, establishment of phony
m nicipa ities which are little more than corporate shells which
p ovide unicipal services for businesses and industries, and
d nies a fair and equitable distribution of State revenues based
u on the real needs of communities to provide services to the
p ople, nd
WHEREAS, a permanent revision of the tax distribution
s stem f r State sales tax will (1) provide necessary revenues
