The focus of the program is to protect all local agency revenues, including sales tax, property tax, redevelopment tax increment financing, and motor vehicle in -lieu tax, from transfers to the State of California. In the short term the task force plans to meet with and lobby State legislators, develop coalitions with local school boards, and employ the media to air local agency concerns.
