Jerry Brown is right, we need to get rid of the Redevelopment Agencies, and these slush funds are spending too much on salaries.
"I count more than 250 full-time employees of L.A.'s Community Redevelopment Agency, and only one person - a clerical assistant - making less than $50,000. That's nice money for filing and phone answering. Most jobs are in the $100,000 to $150,000 range, which is what you'd expect for middle- and senior-level bureaucrats. Is the pay justified? Who knows? Salary lists don't tell you all that much about the effectiveness of an operation."
Enough said--kill the Agencies and give the money back to the people, don't transfer the money to corrupt and mismanaged cities and government school districts.
