Either way, one billion dollars will be wasted. Give it to the State or the Redevelopment Agencies and the money will be lost.
"If redevelopment agencies were to be eliminated, as Governor Jerry Brown has proposed in his budget, California’s public schools would receive an extra $1 billion a year.
That administration estimate is an illustration of the huge amount of property tax dollars being wasted by these agencies—created to eliminate slums but now used mostly to subsidize land developers. Brown wants this money to be shifted to the schools and other important services, such as law enforcement."
Note the Brown Administration does not itemize the money wasted by LAUSD, San Fran government schools, etc.
Government has too much money when LAUSD builds a school for the "Arts" in downtown LA, where few kids live, for over $300 million. Or spend over $400 million for a High School built on top of a methane gas field, known to cause cancer.
Plus, of course, unions control the flow of tax dollars.
I would say we should burn the money for heat, but AB 32 probably prohibits doing that.
