Fiscal Reform and the De-fiscalization of Land Use:
A Dialogue with California Regions and State
Policymakers
Date: Tuesday, May 20, 2003, University
of Southern California Sacramento Center, Sacramento, CA
Description | Agenda
The way state and local governments collect and allocate tax
revenue significantly influences infrastructure investment and
land use decisions. For example, the current incentive to local
governments to encourage retail buildings that generate sales
taxes impedes the development of sufficient workforce and affordable
housing.
At the Roundtable, a select group of participants from regional
and statewide organizations and state policymakers will have an
opportunity for in-depth discussion of two key legislative proposals
for fundamental fiscal reform. Specific bills to be discussed
include AB 1221, the sales/property tax swap bill co-authored
by Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg and Assemblyman John Campbell,
and measures to address reassessment of commercial property including
SB 17 by Senator Martha Escutia.
