California was sued by cities challenging new legislation that would require redevelopment agencies to turn over about $1.7 billion to the state.
San Jose and Union City, along with the California Redevelopment Association and the League of California Cities, asked the California Supreme Court today to overturn two laws. The cities claim the statutes violate a ballot initiative approved by voters in November, Proposition 22, preventing the seizure of revenue dedicated to local government.
