California Court of Appeal

In a consolidated appeal relating to the redevelopment dissolution law, presenting a facial constitutional challenge as to whether the statute allowing withholding of sales and use tax revenues and property tax revenues violates Proposition 22 (2010), which prohibits the state from reallocating, transferring, or otherwise using revenues from taxes imposed or levied by a local government solely for the local government's purposes, the trial court's decision is reversed in the Bellflower case and affirmed in the League of Cities case where the statutes are unconstitutional to the extent they allow the state to reallocate, transfer, or otherwise use tax revenue belonging to the local government.
