Prop 1B Local Streets and Road Funds Available Jan. 15

The California Department of Finance earlier this week announced that instructions and forms for allocating Proposition 1B local street and road funds would be sent to cities and counties by Jan. 15, 2008.

This long awaited announcement was delivered via letter on Dec. 10 to Sens. Mike Machado, Bob Dutton, Christine Kehoe.  The letter (available at the League of Cities' website) was written in response to questions raised by the senators as to the specific reasons for the delays in a special hearing on December 3.
