Long Beach Press Telegram Blasts League of CA Cities "Slush Fund"
The League of California Cities and their redevelopment allies face continuing critisism for their use of taxpayer dollars to finance a political campaign against property rights protections. The Long Beach Press Telegram says, "voters are used to big-spending campaigns aimed at swaying their decisions at election time, but they shouldn't have their own money used against them. That's what seems to be happening on the issue of eminent domain."
The Press Telegram explains the League's improper use of public funds, saying, "the contributions are coming from the associations themselves, not directly but, they say, from such sources as seminars and advertising revenue in their magazines. But public money at least partly supports those sources. It's a convenient way to create a political slush fund that should be illegal if it isn't already."
The League of California Cities and other public agency associations have spent nearly $4 million dollars from their anonymous so-called "non-public funds" accounts to finance opposition to Proposition 98, a eminent domain reform ballot measure that will restore private property rights protections in California .
