SALINAS CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS HAVE VOTED TO USE 19-MILLION DOLLARS IN REDEVELOPMENT FUNDING BEFORE THAT MONEY GOES TO THE STATE GOVERNMENT. THE MONEY WILL BE USED FOR PROJECTS SUCH AS A POLICE SUBSTATION IN EAST SALINAS AND DEVELOPING OLDER BUILDINGS. IF THE STATE LEGISLATURE APPROVES GOVERNOR JERRY BROWN’S PLAN TO DISBAND REDEVELOPMENT AGENCIES, THEN ALL REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS WILL BE REVIEWED AND POSSIBLY NULLIFIED BY THE STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
