[Durham INC] [C+H Neighborhood] Copper Theft

[TheOcean1 at aol.com]

I think this is an excellent resolution. In addition to being a  neighborhood 
issue, it is also a crime issue. Therefor (in my opinion) it should  be 
endorsed by all five of Durham's Partners Against Crime organizations, Durham  
Businesses Against Crime, and InterNeighborhood Council.
 
Since I'm not subscribed to PAC 1, 3, 4, & 5, perhaps someone will  forward 
this suggestion to the others.

Whereas,  the current laws respecting the theft of copper, including
the latest  revisions passed by the North Carolina General Assembly in
_____, have not  been successful in stemming the tide of copper theft;
and

Whereas,  though the economic downturn has decreased the price of
copper, the  magnitude of the problem is only increasing, and the
injury done to the  community is substantial; and

Whereas, the State of North Carolina and  the several counties and
municipalities are facing an extreme budget  shortfall, and that such a
shortfall is not helped by the fact that metal  recyclers do not report
metal sales to the taxing authority, and this  results in a tremendous
amount of untaxed economic activity;

IT IS  HEREBY RESOLVED that the Durham InterNeighborhood Council
express the sense  of the neighborhoods to the Durham Elected Officials
and the Durham State  Delegation that copper theft remains a problem
and that the state should  look into alternatives which cause all metal
transactions to be reported to  the Revenue Office, linked with a valid
tax id number of the metal seller,  for all transactions above  $10.00.
