CALL ASAP 
KILL THE BILL 
 
 
What must occur next is 
thousands
       
             
      (yes,thousands)of
      citizen phone calls
 
(don't delay--call TODAY) 
Suggested statements on why you oppose SB 1.  Choose one
      brief statement from the below list or make up your own: 
1.  
      Senate Bill 1 stands in
      contravention of representative government and in defiance of the
      separation of powers invested in Constitutional government. 
2.  
      SB 1 invents new structures
      to govern people with new sources of authority, which subjugates the will
      of the people to the dictates of unelected bureaucrats. 
3.  
      Senate Bill 1 allows for the
      issuance of bonds without voter approval thereby circumventing a
      democratic process and preventing the sovereign people to observe and
      require accountability for any and all developments and policies that SB
      1's Investment Authorities implement. 
4.  
      Senate Bill 1 authorizes the Investment Authority
      of a city or county to include a provision in its Plan for the receipt of
      tax increment funds.  Such
      financing has heretofore increasingly over-burdened the State's financial
      resources in meeting school and county obligations and seriously deviated
      from redevelopment agencies' initial objective by underwriting commercial
      and profitable real estate ventures.   
5.  
      Senate Bill 1 redefines
      "blight" as "inefficient land use", an arbitrary and
      subjective determination for the benefit of the Investment Authority
      established through the Bill.

SUBURBS
      & RURAL AREAS ARE BLIGHT 
 
   
  
       
This bill is a THREAT to Rural and
      Suburban property owners 
   
SB-1 
 
Expanding
      the Definition of 
BLIGHT 
Declares
      suburban and rural lifestyles-which
      it terms "inefficient land use patterns-as "blight."
      Declaring suburban and rural land use a "blight" has
      appalling and stunning legal and political implications. How does it
      feel to have a target on your back from these people? 
Creates
      mini-ABAGs (redevelopment agencies) not
      controlled by cities and towns.  Allows eminent domain and funding
      power to assemble and fund massive high density housing projects in
      suburban downtowns.
