Arcadia Redevelopment Agency v. Ikemoto
Opinion
Opinion
Hinz, J.
Introduction
Concluding that the Legislature violated no constitutional or statutory provision in enacting section 97 and related sections of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, we deny a writ of mandamus challenging the implementation of that statute.
On April 11, 1991, in the California Supreme Court, petitioners filed a petition for writ of mandate and requested an immediate stay. Petitioners are redevelopment agencies of the following cities: Arcadia; Culver City; Lynwood; Moreno Valley; Redondo Beach; San Jose; Santa Ana; and Santa Clara. Respondents are: Daniel O. Ikemoto (Los Angeles County Auditor-Controller); Steven E. Lewis (Orange County Auditor-Controller); William L. Parsons (Santa Clara County Auditor-Controller); and Anthony Bellanca (Riverside County Auditor-Controller).
On April 17, 1991, the California Supreme Court transferred the matter to the Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District. On May 6, 1991, finding good cause for review of the issue raised, this appellate division ordered respondents to show cause why the requested relief should not issue, but denied the request for a stay.
