On December 29, 2011, the California Supreme Court ruled on two significant cases, which resulted in the elimination of California’s 400 Redevelopment Agencies (CRAs). The L.A. Times ran a front-page story (Dolan, Garrison & York, latimes.com) that day about the impact of the decisions, explaining that, “The court ruled unanimously in favor of a state law passed last summer that abolished redevelopment agencies and voted 6 to 1 to strike down a companion measure that would have allowed the agencies to continue if they shared their revenues.”
