Political Games: Redevelopment Wins You Lose

by Douglas Adams McNea

There is a high stakes game of chicken being played out in the state Capitol
with your tax dollars as the prize. If we the people do not take action,
redevelopment wins, we loose.

The three proposed plans are as follows:

A) Original Local Gov. Agreement
B) Local Government Compromise
C) SCA 9 - Democrat Proposal

So what plan do we support?

Dan Weintraub laid out our best course of action when he said:

"Instead of making a mistake that will haunt California for years to come,
the governor should return to his original proposal, shift local money to
the state for one year only, and let the cities and counties make their case
to the voters in November.

If the public likes their solution, state officials will have to live with
it. But if Proposition 65 loses, Schwarzenegger can begin the next day to
put together the kind of real reform worthy of his power and prestige, a
reform that would cement his legacy on an important and difficult issue. "

Govenor is Missing a Chance to Enact Big Reform

We need to tell the Governor to flex his muscle by returning to his original
proposal. Tell the Governor to oppose Proposition 65. Then start forming a
strong alliance to defeat Proposition 65. We need to say no to the
California Redevelopment Association and their plan to use Proposition 65,
the Governor, and the Legislators to protect tax increment from being
shifted to education.

What is more important corporate welfare or the welfare of are children?
