llliSOLVED by the Board of County 1,;ommissioners of Otter Tail County, i:innesota, that
WHEREAS there is now pending before the House and Senate of the State of Minnesota, legislation
intended to create a state-wide systen of public defenders, being House File 640 and Senate File 706, and
1-/Hli.!lliAS, this legislation would place the control of said public defender in the hands of a so-called
Judicial Committee and thereby deprive the people of this community of the safeguards and control they now have
through their County noards and through election, and
\·,"HEREAS it appears this proposed system will definitely increase the cost of public defenders for
indigent persons without an increase in the quality of that service as is now provided by local attorneys.
NOi-/, THEREFOHE, BE IT RESOLVED that this legislation, now pending, which provides for a judicially
appo,inted, created and controlled public defender system be rejected.
