California: Local revenue protection initiative supported by councilman
The Woodland Chamber of Commerce heard a heavy pitch from Councilman Bill Marble about the need to protect local government revenues from state seizures at a Chamber business development meeting on Tuesday. A petition to place on the ballot a constitutional amendment to protect local government revenues is circulating around Yolo County, and Marble said he wants to get as many people in the business community on board as possible. The amendment would ensure the state can’t take money from the local governments, plugging up any loopholes in the constitution, Marble said.
