This proposal runs completely contrary to the Governor's and Legislature's stated goals of <br /> realigning state services to provide more responsibility and funding locally. Redevelopment funds <br /> are already locally- generated property tax dollars (agencies do not receive State funding) directed <br /> toward community projects and programs directed by locally - elected officials with input from <br /> citizens. The proposal wipes out the only tool San Leandro has to drive economic growth, create <br /> jobs, build up tax revenues, and grow sustainably. In spite of much talk about enhanced local <br /> control, we fear that the State is once again seeking to balance its budget by redirecting local <br /> revenues. <br /> On behalf of the City Council of the City of San Leandro, I urge you to reject this misguided <br /> proposal. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Stephen H. Cassidy, Mayor <br /> • <br />
