Kudos to the mayor of Left is Right's own little town:
| (KFWB) 12.09.03, 12:35p -- A tug of war between cash strapped cities and Sacramento is worsening. Cerritos is launching a lawsuit to stop the state from taking extra tax revenues from municipalities to cover California's budget deficit. Cerritos Mayor Gloria Alverez-Kappe (kap-pee) says the state has repeatedly renegged on promises to repay sales tax revenue siffoned-off from cities with property tax revenue down the road. Cerritos is hoping other cities join in its suit.
Meanwhile..the other shoe's dropped for municipalities...the state's let it be known cities will only receveive a third of what was promised from car tax revenues..that promise made with the full knowledge that the governor was going to repeal the law that would have tripled registration fees. And it gets worse..the state says cities won't get anything, zilch, from the car tax beginning next month.... |
Cerritos is a relatively conservative municipality, so it's great to see our little town at the forefront of activism in support of its citizens. Bravo, Mayor Kappe!
