I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Taken together, the two parts of the decision mean that barring any legislative intervention, the 400-plus local redevelopment agencies around the state will have to shut down for good sometime in 2012. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rulings are related to two bills enacted as part of the budget deal this year. The changes in the redevelopment process were made in order to redirect $1.7 billion from the agencies to help close the budget gap. But now that only the elimination of the agencies has been ruled legal, even more money could accrue to state and local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED Sacramento Bureau Chief John Myers clues us in on just what today’s split ruling — a worst-case scenario for redevelopment agencies and their supporters — means…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>First and foremost this ruling does appear to change a system of local development across California that has been in place for more than a generation. Remember that redevelopment agencies were first created after WW II and the way they’re financed through local property tax dollars has been in place since the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This ruling says that system of financing local RDAs is now abolished by action of the legislature, which occurred during the state budget debate this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Redevelopment supporters immediately said after the ruling they want to work with the legislature to try to find some way to keep RDAs in business.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So really what we have here is a split ruling, which interestingly enough could benefit the state budget a lot more than expected. There were two bills that dealt with redevelopment in the budget; the first bill said that redevelopment agencies were going to be abolished as they now exist. The second bill said those RDAs could continue to do business if they started sharing more of their property tax dollars with local services. The crux of the case was whether both or one of these were legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court effectively said the first bill that abolished the agencies was legal, but that the stipulation that they can continue to do business if they shared money was not. So the net effect of this could be that the state and local governments will get more money out of the state budget through the years, because property tax dollars will no longer be earmarked for local redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear as to how this will play out. Redevelopment supporters immediately said after the ruling they want to work with the legislature to try to find some way to keep RDAs in business. If they are unsuccessful, however, the law says those agencies have to close up shop sometime in 2012. The difficulty here is figuring out exactly when that will happen; there’s a lot of activity going on at these agencies, and some of them, like the one in San Jose, are very big. They also have a lot of debt on their books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also unclear as to how much money is going to be freed. Because the projects already in the pipeline would ostensibly stay in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>With the Supreme Court ruling today, redevelopment agencies got the worst of all scenarios.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>One of the tougher things to understand about redevelopment is that it is used differently in different communities across California. Some cities have been very aggressive in their use of redevelopment funds. A great example of that is San Jose, where it has been in place for a long time and the vast majority of the city’s downtown is part of a redevelopment district. Other cities have used it much more sparingly. That has led to a lot of the criticism about how redevelopment works and whether those property tax dollars are effective at, say, cleaning up blight or providing affordable housing, or whether they have become in effect subsidies for private developers to come in and build projects in cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Brown, all though 2011, pushed this idea of abolishing local RDAs and using the money to relieve pressure on the state budget. The compromise that came out of the legislature by the spring was this alternate universe that this case revolved around, which said you can’t keep doing redevelopment the way you’ve been doing it for years, but you can stay in business if you share money with us. That was an alternative that several members of the legislature wanted because it was the only way they would vote for the governor’s plan to use redevelopment dollars for other purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the Supreme Court ruling today, they got the worst of all scenarios. They agencies were not only abolished in the first bill, but the second bill that at least would have allowed them to stay in business was ruled illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the net fiscal impact of the ruling, it’s not easy to calculate. We know that the budget signed into law in June counted $1.7 billion of redevelopment property tax dollars toward the budget. But the long-term effect of the ruling would increase the amount of money available for local government and public schools, because these are local property tax dollars that would otherwise have been used by redevelopment agencies. The net effect of that is an easing of pressure on the state’s finances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"quan\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 3:40 p.m.\u003c/strong> Oakland Mayor Jean Quan spoke with KQED’s Mina Kim about the decision this afternoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>What’s your reaction to the California Supreme Court’s ruling? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a decision that probably makes no one happy. We’re not happy that the state has the power to eliminate redevelopment given how much is invested in it. On the other hand it didn’t give the legislature the right to outright “blackmail” us. And it doesn’t give them the revenue they need to balance the budget. So that’s why everyone is saying we have to work together with the legislature in January to try to come to a compromise in a way they can get the money they need for education and other programs and we can continue to work on our economic development projects, including and especially affordable housing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much does the city budget rely on redevelopment funds?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a whole separate redevelopment agency and I think Oakland has one of the bigger ones because we have a lot of blighted and low-income areas, and we have a lot of industrial areas that are being converted. The army base is a massive project to expand and extend the port of Oakland. And I think I have eight affordable housing projects lined up right now. Any really big development — downtown, retail, the coliseum project we’re talking about — uses at least some redevelopment funding. There’s probably not a part of urban life untouched by redevelopment funds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 150 workers are employed by the redevelopment funds involved in economic development for the city. We could end up losing those employees if a compromise is not worked out. Planners, blight inspectors, a wide range of employees. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all believe there can be a legislative compromise to save most of the redevelopment functions. Obviously we’ll have to plan for worst-case scenarios. But when you look at the comments of the [Assembly] speaker and the Senate Pro Tem, it was never their intention to totally eliminate redevelopment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB x27, which the court struck down because of the way it said the cities have to give over a large percentage of funds or the agency would end — there has to be a way to make it voluntary to meet the constraints of the court and allow the agencies to continue. I think that’s where most of us are going to put our efforts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you want to say anything about the recall effort? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m just focusing on my work. If they get the signatures, I will fight it. I’m the first woman, first Asian American mayor, and clearly that’s an important responsibility. I have a lot of issues to deal with like redevelopment today, and major issues we’ve been leading the city forward on. I really have to focus on those. If the signatures are gotten, I’ll be more focused on that. But now we have a lot of battles.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"reed\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 3:05 p.m.\u003c/strong> Statement from Mayor Ed Lee of San Francisco: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Today’s ruling by the California Supreme Court to eliminate redevelopment agencies is disappointing. In San Francisco, redevelopment has not only played a critical role in creating jobs, transforming disadvantaged communities and delivering affordable housing, but it has spurred economic growth for our entire City at a time when we needed it most. Time and time again, San Francisco has demonstrated that when redevelopment is used to its fullest potential, it can deliver results such as Yerba Buena Gardens and Mission Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unlikely that the Legislature intended to dissolve redevelopment agencies without an option to maintain true job creation, infrastructure and affordable housing projects. Under AB 1X 26, San Francisco’s major infrastructure and affordable housing projects are considered enforceable obligations. That means that major projects well underway such as the Mission Bay, Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island can keep going. At risk, however, is continued future progress on developing affordable housing, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods and generating the resources to fund urban infill development and infrastructure. We call on the State to find a legislative solution to this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while we are committed to working with the State, we have already started to look at local solutions and alternatives. Abandoning the job creation, economic development, and community benefits that redevelopment has provided San Francisco for decades is simply not an option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bills 1X 26 and 1X 27, companion bills to Governor Brown’s 2011-2012 budget, allowed California cities with redevelopment agencies to keep the entity by opting in to a state payment plan versus outright elimination. As a result of today’s decision, the State of California will be the beneficiary of $1.7 billion in the first year of implementation of this plan. The California Redevelopment Association and the California League of Cities among others challenged the constitutionality of the measures. With the Supreme Court ruling on AB 1X 26, all redevelopment agencies in California will be dissolved with their assets and existing obligations assumed by individual cities. The California Supreme Court struck down AB 1X 27 based on violations of various aspects of the State’s Constitution including Proposition 22, a 2010 voter approved initiative that prohibits State diversion of local tax revenues.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:15 p.m.\u003c/strong> San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed responds to the ruling…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Today’s Supreme Court decision eliminates critical tools to rebuild our economy, create jobs, and revitalize neighborhoods – exactly the kinds of investments California cities should be making in this recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This decision will stall job creation efforts in San José at the worst possible time.

Taken together, the two parts of the decision mean that barring any legislative intervention, the 400-plus local redevelopment agencies around the state will have to shut down for good sometime in 2012. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rulings are related to two bills enacted as part of the budget deal this year. The changes in the redevelopment process were made in order to redirect $1.7 billion from the agencies to help close the budget gap. But now that only the elimination of the agencies has been ruled legal, even more money could accrue to state and local governments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED Sacramento Bureau Chief John Myers clues us in on just what today’s split ruling — a worst-case scenario for redevelopment agencies and their supporters — means…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>First and foremost this ruling does appear to change a system of local development across California that has been in place for more than a generation. Remember that redevelopment agencies were first created after WW II and the way they’re financed through local property tax dollars has been in place since the 1950s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This ruling says that system of financing local RDAs is now abolished by action of the legislature, which occurred during the state budget debate this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>Redevelopment supporters immediately said after the ruling they want to work with the legislature to try to find some way to keep RDAs in business.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>So really what we have here is a split ruling, which interestingly enough could benefit the state budget a lot more than expected. There were two bills that dealt with redevelopment in the budget; the first bill said that redevelopment agencies were going to be abolished as they now exist. The second bill said those RDAs could continue to do business if they started sharing more of their property tax dollars with local services. The crux of the case was whether both or one of these were legal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court effectively said the first bill that abolished the agencies was legal, but that the stipulation that they can continue to do business if they shared money was not. So the net effect of this could be that the state and local governments will get more money out of the state budget through the years, because property tax dollars will no longer be earmarked for local redevelopment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear as to how this will play out. Redevelopment supporters immediately said after the ruling they want to work with the legislature to try to find some way to keep RDAs in business. If they are unsuccessful, however, the law says those agencies have to close up shop sometime in 2012. The difficulty here is figuring out exactly when that will happen; there’s a lot of activity going on at these agencies, and some of them, like the one in San Jose, are very big. They also have a lot of debt on their books.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s also unclear as to how much money is going to be freed. Because the projects already in the pipeline would ostensibly stay in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\n\u003cp>With the Supreme Court ruling today, redevelopment agencies got the worst of all scenarios.\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>One of the tougher things to understand about redevelopment is that it is used differently in different communities across California. Some cities have been very aggressive in their use of redevelopment funds. A great example of that is San Jose, where it has been in place for a long time and the vast majority of the city’s downtown is part of a redevelopment district. Other cities have used it much more sparingly. That has led to a lot of the criticism about how redevelopment works and whether those property tax dollars are effective at, say, cleaning up blight or providing affordable housing, or whether they have become in effect subsidies for private developers to come in and build projects in cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Governor Brown, all though 2011, pushed this idea of abolishing local RDAs and using the money to relieve pressure on the state budget. The compromise that came out of the legislature by the spring was this alternate universe that this case revolved around, which said you can’t keep doing redevelopment the way you’ve been doing it for years, but you can stay in business if you share money with us. That was an alternative that several members of the legislature wanted because it was the only way they would vote for the governor’s plan to use redevelopment dollars for other purposes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with the Supreme Court ruling today, they got the worst of all scenarios. They agencies were not only abolished in the first bill, but the second bill that at least would have allowed them to stay in business was ruled illegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As to the net fiscal impact of the ruling, it’s not easy to calculate. We know that the budget signed into law in June counted $1.7 billion of redevelopment property tax dollars toward the budget. But the long-term effect of the ruling would increase the amount of money available for local government and public schools, because these are local property tax dollars that would otherwise have been used by redevelopment agencies. The net effect of that is an easing of pressure on the state’s finances.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"quan\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 3:40 p.m.\u003c/strong> Oakland Mayor Jean Quan spoke with KQED’s Mina Kim about the decision this afternoon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\n\u003cstrong>What’s your reaction to the California Supreme Court’s ruling? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a decision that probably makes no one happy. We’re not happy that the state has the power to eliminate redevelopment given how much is invested in it. On the other hand it didn’t give the legislature the right to outright “blackmail” us. And it doesn’t give them the revenue they need to balance the budget. So that’s why everyone is saying we have to work together with the legislature in January to try to come to a compromise in a way they can get the money they need for education and other programs and we can continue to work on our economic development projects, including and especially affordable housing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How much does the city budget rely on redevelopment funds?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a whole separate redevelopment agency and I think Oakland has one of the bigger ones because we have a lot of blighted and low-income areas, and we have a lot of industrial areas that are being converted. The army base is a massive project to expand and extend the port of Oakland. And I think I have eight affordable housing projects lined up right now. Any really big development — downtown, retail, the coliseum project we’re talking about — uses at least some redevelopment funding. There’s probably not a part of urban life untouched by redevelopment funds. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 150 workers are employed by the redevelopment funds involved in economic development for the city. We could end up losing those employees if a compromise is not worked out. Planners, blight inspectors, a wide range of employees. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We all believe there can be a legislative compromise to save most of the redevelopment functions. Obviously we’ll have to plan for worst-case scenarios. But when you look at the comments of the [Assembly] speaker and the Senate Pro Tem, it was never their intention to totally eliminate redevelopment. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AB x27, which the court struck down because of the way it said the cities have to give over a large percentage of funds or the agency would end — there has to be a way to make it voluntary to meet the constraints of the court and allow the agencies to continue. I think that’s where most of us are going to put our efforts. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you want to say anything about the recall effort? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m just focusing on my work. If they get the signatures, I will fight it. I’m the first woman, first Asian American mayor, and clearly that’s an important responsibility. I have a lot of issues to deal with like redevelopment today, and major issues we’ve been leading the city forward on. I really have to focus on those. If the signatures are gotten, I’ll be more focused on that. But now we have a lot of battles.\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca name=\"reed\">\u003c/a>\u003cstrong>Update 3:05 p.m.\u003c/strong> Statement from Mayor Ed Lee of San Francisco: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Today’s ruling by the California Supreme Court to eliminate redevelopment agencies is disappointing. In San Francisco, redevelopment has not only played a critical role in creating jobs, transforming disadvantaged communities and delivering affordable housing, but it has spurred economic growth for our entire City at a time when we needed it most. Time and time again, San Francisco has demonstrated that when redevelopment is used to its fullest potential, it can deliver results such as Yerba Buena Gardens and Mission Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unlikely that the Legislature intended to dissolve redevelopment agencies without an option to maintain true job creation, infrastructure and affordable housing projects. Under AB 1X 26, San Francisco’s major infrastructure and affordable housing projects are considered enforceable obligations. That means that major projects well underway such as the Mission Bay, Bayview Hunters Point Shipyard and Treasure Island can keep going. At risk, however, is continued future progress on developing affordable housing, revitalizing blighted neighborhoods and generating the resources to fund urban infill development and infrastructure. We call on the State to find a legislative solution to this problem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while we are committed to working with the State, we have already started to look at local solutions and alternatives. Abandoning the job creation, economic development, and community benefits that redevelopment has provided San Francisco for decades is simply not an option.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bills 1X 26 and 1X 27, companion bills to Governor Brown’s 2011-2012 budget, allowed California cities with redevelopment agencies to keep the entity by opting in to a state payment plan versus outright elimination. As a result of today’s decision, the State of California will be the beneficiary of $1.7 billion in the first year of implementation of this plan. The California Redevelopment Association and the California League of Cities among others challenged the constitutionality of the measures. With the Supreme Court ruling on AB 1X 26, all redevelopment agencies in California will be dissolved with their assets and existing obligations assumed by individual cities. The California Supreme Court struck down AB 1X 27 based on violations of various aspects of the State’s Constitution including Proposition 22, a 2010 voter approved initiative that prohibits State diversion of local tax revenues.”\n\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Update 12:15 p.m.\u003c/strong> San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed responds to the ruling…\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Today’s Supreme Court decision eliminates critical tools to rebuild our economy, create jobs, and revitalize neighborhoods – exactly the kinds of investments California cities should be making in this recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This decision will stall job creation efforts in San José at the worst possible time.

Mayor Chuck Reed had wanted the declaration of a fiscal emergency leading to a special election in March, but he put that on hold after a report last week that \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19451203\">lowered the city's original $80 million projected budget shortfall\u003c/a> to $25 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the mayor and some city council members still want pension reform to go forward, now calling for his plan to be put on the ballot in June. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unions are not on board. From a Friday \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/12_02_11_jim_unland_police_officers_association_budget_pension_reform/\">column\u003c/a> on San Jose Inside by Jim Unland, a sergeant in the San Jose Police Department and president of the Police Officers Association:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nWhat San Jose has is not a fiscal emergency but rather a leadership emergency. Mayor Reed’s answer to his numbers being wrong? Well, he still wants to plow ahead with his unlawful pension scheme, which will lead to litigation and hundreds of millions of dollars of risk for the city. Let me be clear, we support lawful pension reform and as a matter of fact, we presented to the city just yesterday a new proposal to roll back pension benefits to 1996 levels for new hires and current police officers and firefighters who opt into this plan...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You would have thought that [the reduced budget shortfall] would have been greeted with happiness at City Hall. Instead, the Mercury News reported that the mayor and city manager “greeted the news with skepticism and some dismay.” This is not the news they wanted. This does not bolster their arguments for a fiscal emergency. In fact, the vote for that isn’t going to happen because they at least want to hang onto some shred of credibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does still appear to be happening is that the mayor is moving forward with his unlawful ballot measure in June. Instead of a March election though, he wants an election in June. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Janice Rombeck, editor of our news associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.neighborwebsjdev.com/\">NeighborsWeb SJ\u003c/a>, says the lower deficit projection is partly a result of the number of police and firefighters who have been cut, as opposed to any rosier and sustainable economic circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not going to open up any of the community centers that have been built but can't be staffed,\" she said, giving one example of how the reduced shortfall will only help the city's fiscal situation up to a point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unions have floated their own pension reform plan, but the mayor doesn't think it goes far enough, Rombeck says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/scott-herhold/ci_19475145?source=pkg\">Scott Herhold: Learning how to speak Pension\u003c/a> (SJ Mercury News)\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/ul>\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19484394\">Mercury News has the story\u003c/a> here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Earlier post\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe San Jose City Council is meeting to discuss and vote on, among other things, \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/12_02_11_city_council_mayor_chuck_reed_ballot_measures_fiscal_emergency/\">putting the mayor's pension reform proposal on next year's June ballot\u003c/a>. Mayor Chuck Reed had wanted the declaration of a fiscal emergency leading to a special election in March, but he put that on hold after a report last week that \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/bay-area-news/ci_19451203\">lowered the city's original $80 million projected budget shortfall\u003c/a> to $25 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the mayor and some city council members still want pension reform to go forward, now calling for his plan to be put on the ballot in June. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unions are not on board. From a Friday \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanjoseinside.com/news/entries/12_02_11_jim_unland_police_officers_association_budget_pension_reform/\">column\u003c/a> on San Jose Inside by Jim Unland, a sergeant in the San Jose Police Department and president of the Police Officers Association:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\nWhat San Jose has is not a fiscal emergency but rather a leadership emergency. Mayor Reed’s answer to his numbers being wrong? Well, he still wants to plow ahead with his unlawful pension scheme, which will lead to litigation and hundreds of millions of dollars of risk for the city. Let me be clear, we support lawful pension reform and as a matter of fact, we presented to the city just yesterday a new proposal to roll back pension benefits to 1996 levels for new hires and current police officers and firefighters who opt into this plan...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You would have thought that [the reduced budget shortfall] would have been greeted with happiness at City Hall. Instead, the Mercury News reported that the mayor and city manager “greeted the news with skepticism and some dismay.” This is not the news they wanted. This does not bolster their arguments for a fiscal emergency. In fact, the vote for that isn’t going to happen because they at least want to hang onto some shred of credibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What does still appear to be happening is that the mayor is moving forward with his unlawful ballot measure in June. Instead of a March election though, he wants an election in June. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Janice Rombeck, editor of our news associate \u003ca href=\"http://www.neighborwebsjdev.com/\">NeighborsWeb SJ\u003c/a>, says the lower deficit projection is partly a result of the number of police and firefighters who have been cut, as opposed to any rosier and sustainable economic circumstances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's not going to open up any of the community centers that have been built but can't be staffed,\" she said, giving one example of how the reduced shortfall will only help the city's fiscal situation up to a point. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The unions have floated their own pension reform plan, but the mayor doesn't think it goes far enough, Rombeck says. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Related:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/scott-herhold/ci_19475145?source=pkg\">Scott Herhold: Learning how to speak Pension\u003c/a> (SJ Mercury News)\n\u003c/li>\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/ul>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
