Mr. Krepela makes the following statement to the Board:
It is beyond a doubt that this local governing body stands to lose its
representation of thepeople of Chesterfield through its inability to properly
on~rol the administration of tax dollars. Apparently we will have taxation
without representation, i~ therefore, would like to recommend to the Board that
we take action by resolution and personal perserverance to urge our General
Assembly to take a ~' '
cumon callmng for a State Constitutional Convention which would
be held only for the purpose of amending our federal constitution~ which applies
to busing as a legal means of integration of schools. This would end the
imovement to discharge the petition already in Congress, which is now bogged down
,.and which was to accomplish an amendment. A disregard of this recommendation
!icould mean a lack of vision on the part of this governing body and a lack of
!!assistance to our Chesterfield people in the time of need.
iiOn motion of Mro Krepela, seconded by Mr. Apperson, it is resolved that the following
!!resolution bey and it is hereby adopted:
WHEREAS~ there is pending in the Congress of the United States a proposed
:,amendment to the United States Constitution the essence of which is to prohibit
~Ithe use of busing to achieve a racial balance in the public schools and which
-iwould preserve the neighborhood school concept; and
WHEREAS,~ this amendment had bogged down in committee; and
WHEREAS~ the Constitution can be amended also on the application of the
.legislatures of two-thirds of the several states calling for a Constitutional
,~Convention for the purpose of proposing amendments; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Supervisors supports the amendment now in Congress
!and wants to see that all possible means of adopting said amendment are pursued;
NOW, THERi£FORE~ BE iT RESOLVED, by the Board of SUpervisors of Chesterfield
County, Virginia~ that:
1.The General ~iosembly° of Virginia is hereby requested to take action
pursuant to 'the authority granted it under Article rive of the United States
'[Constitution and call for a Constitutional Convention for the specific purpose
