Bonnie Hammersley said there is a transportation event on Friday, April 24th in <br /> recognition of National County Month. She invited all the Commissioners to attend. <br /> 10. County Attorney's Report <br /> John Roberts said the House concluded its bill filing last week. He said the total <br /> number of bills filed this year is 1654, which is somewhat low. He said the County Omnibus bill <br /> is moving through committee and includes recyclable materials legislation. <br /> Chair McKee thanked him for his updates on bills that adversely affect the County. He <br /> said there are two bills that affect reallocation of the sales tax distribution. He said on the <br /> surface he is enthusiastically supportive of reallocation on per capita rather than point of sale. <br /> He said the devil is in the details because one of the bills would not only change the <br /> distribution method but would try and tell the County how they could spend this money, which <br /> is another taking of County prerogative. <br /> 11.
