CA Files Redevelopment Lawsuit Response
Yesterday, the State of California filed its response to a lawsuit filed by the California Redevelopment Association (CRA) and the League of California Cities challenging the constitutionality of ABX1 26 and ABX1 27 (See July 18 post, Public Finance Update: Lawsuit Challenging CA Redevelopment Bills Imminent).
The State agrees with the plaintiffs’ request to have the Supreme Court assume original jurisdiction on the case and calls for an expedited briefing schedule. However, the State opposes the request for a stay, claiming that a stay would “wreak havoc on the operation of the state” and requests that the Court deny the plaintiffs’ petition on the merits.
