Stung by a grab of property taxes by the state, county governments are fighting back
Article Abstract:
California counties are fighting the revocation of property taxes that the state's 1993 budget calls for. At least 22 counties have passed ordinances defying the state, and 36 passed resolutions to retain the taxes. No cases have yet been legally tested. The state has been passing this money back to the counties since 1978 to counteract Proposition 13, but now it needs the funds to balance its own budget.
