ZIGLER CITED SOME CHAPTER and verse at the Richmond meeting. For example, why don’t local officials rely more on Section 15.1-427, Zigler wanted to know—the section which dictates that local funds, derived from local taxes, must be spent in the most efficient and economical way? When taxes start escalating rapidly because of rapid growth, why can’t local governments cite this section to exercise stricter controls, Zigler asked. He thought they could.

Hirzm Ziglpr was also provocative in his discussion of the “Health safety and welfare” clause of Virginia local enabling legislation. This phrase refers in the lawbooks only to the “health safety and welfare of the inhabitants,” that’s present inhabitants of a* jurisdiction, Zigler noted. “So when somebody says, ‘What about the people that’s coming here?’ you don’t owe the people that are coming a nickel’s worth. Your first obligation is to the people who are already here.”
