Page4 The Lone Tree Reporter Thursday, May21,2015 Lone Cost of this publication: 120.70 Fiscal year to date cost (as of 7/1/14): THE JOHNSON COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS FORMAL MEETING MINUTES MAY 7, 2015 Chairperson Hamey called the Johnson County Board of Supervisors to order in the Johnson County Administra- tion Building at 9:00 a.m. Members pres- ent: Mike Carberry, Pat Harney, Terrence Neuzil, Janelle Rettig, and Rod Sullivan. Unless otherwise noted, all ac- tions were taken unanimously. Iowa City residents Del Holland and Douglas Narveson spoke and ac- cepted the following resolution. RESOLUTION 05-07-15-01 RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FOR THE CALL TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION Whereas, free and fair elections are es- sential to democracy and effective self- government, and Whereas, the free speech rights of all natural persons must be protected so that diverse views will be heard regardless of the wealth, standing or position of the speaker, and Whereas, corporations are granted spe- cial advantages such as limited liability, perpetual life and favorable treatment of the accumulation and distribution of as- sets that are not available to natural born citizens. Whereas, prior to 2010, federal law had prohibited corporations and unions from using their general treasury funds to make independent expenditures that ex- pressly advocate the election or defeat of a candidate through any form of media in connection with certain federal elections. Corporations were allowed to participate in the political process by establishing separate segregated funds (known as political action committees), funded by donations from stockholders, employees or members of unions, Whereas, these restrictions based on cor- porate identity were upheld by the United States Supreme Court in Austin vs. Michi- gan Chamber of Commerce (1990), when the Court recognized a compelling gov- ernmental interest in preventing "the cor- rosive and distorting effects of immense aggregations of wealth that are accumu- lated with the help of the corporate form and that have little or no correlation to the public's support for the corporation's po- litical ideas." Whereas, in 2010 the Supreme Court in Citizens United vs. The Federal Election Commission reversed the decision in Aus- tin, ruling that no sufficient governmental interest justifies limits on the political speech of nonprofit or for-profit corpora- tions. As a result, limits on the expenditure of corporate general funds that expressly advocate for the election or defeat of a candidate, were found to be unconstitu- tional, and Whereas, the decision in Citizens United and the massive investment in recent elections by corporate interests has sparked a grassroots effort, embodied in the Move to Amend campaign, which calls for an amendment to the United States Constitution to state that the rights pro- tected by the Constitution are the rights of natural persons only and that Government shall have the power to regulate, limit, or prohibit contributions and expenditures for the purpose of influencing elections and that all levels of government shall require that all permissible contributions and ex- penditures be publicly disclosed. I Now, therefore, be it resolved that the Johnson County Board of Supervisors hereby supports the call for an amend- ment to the Constitution to ensure that corporations are not deemed to have the same Constitutional rights as do natu- ral persons and allowing government to place reasonable limits on the political activities of artificial entities such as for- profit and not for profit corporations. Motion by Rettig, second by Sullivan, to approve Resolution 05-07-15-01. Motion by Sullivan, second by Carberry, to approve claim number 15006063 for $10,250.00 to All Traffic Solutions as ap- proved by a majority of the Supervisors.
