Tax-Sharing Bill Forces Regionalism Issue

A California tax-sharing bill forces the regionalism issue, but opposition holds firm.

Perhaps no legislative proposal in recent memory has cut closer to the bone of California’s state-local governance problems than AB 680, Assemblyman Darrell Steinberg’s proposal to create a tax-sharing system for metropolitan Sacramento. And there’s one simple reason for that: While tax-sharing has been discussed in legislative circles for close to 20 years, Steinberg’s bill is the only one that has ever actually gotten very far.
