State to appeal redevelopment ruling

Just found out from the California Redevelopment Association that the state plans to appeal the Sacramento Superior Court's decision that ruled the state violated the Constitution when it required redevelopment agencies to fund $350 million in state obligations.

The state filed the appeal late Tuesday and CRA, which sued the state on behalf of other redevelopment agencies in California, says the process may take longer than a year.

What does this mean for the Long Beach Redevelopment Agency? Would they now have to make a $6 million ERAF payment?

I'll post more details as I hear them.
