As momentum builds for his plan to eliminate the redevelopment agencies, the agencies themselves are going around rapidly approving projects. Well, apparently the Governor thought about that possibility:
Looks like Gov. Jerry Brown's office has a contingency plan for all those cities around California that have been rushing to approve redevelopment money before the state can kill the program. (Eliminating redevelopment is a key part of Brown's plan to solve the state's $26 billion budget deficit.)
Included in a bill proposed by Brown's office that would eliminate redevelopment is language which would let the state "review the validity of the adoption or amendment of a redevelopment plan at any time within three years after the date of the adoption of the ordinance adopting or amending the plan, if the adoption of the ordinance occurred after January 1, 2011."(SF Gate)
This is another component that would likely get lumped in with the budget trailers. If the legislature goes along with ending the redevelopment agencies, it would be hard to imagine that they wouldn't pass this as well.
