California legal battles


San Jose, Union City and other supporters of the state's 398 active redevelopment agencies filed a lawsuit Monday against the state asking the California Supreme Court to overturn two recently enacted laws that eliminate or take money away from the agencies.

They contend the laws, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last month as part of the state budget, are unconstitutional because they violate Prop. 22, passed by voters last fall prevent the state from raiding local tax coffers, including redevelopment agencies. Contra Costa Times
These battle started with the Gubinator vs the unions. Now they continue with the cities vs the Unionized governor. Courts, that what we use when we are bankrupt.
