AB 1389 was approved in September as part of the much-delayed 2008/09 budget package. The CRA suit claims certain sections "authorize a one-time raid of $350 million in redevelopment funds."
The lawsuit seeks to "invalidate that aspect of AB 1389 and to prohibit the state from forcing county auditors to divert redevelopment funds to finance state obligations," the suit states.
A possible suit was first made public in an exclusive interview in October, when CRA executive director John Shirey told GlobeSt.com his group was "considering whether we're going to bring suit against the state."
