The 4th District Court of Appeals has ruled against Grantville Action Group in a long-running suit. The Grantville group argued that the City of San Diego could not use redevelopment tax money on downtown projects such as the C Street trolley. Grantville had argued that the money should not go elsewhere, and the C Street trolley should have been funded by the former Centre City Development Corp. (now Civic San Diego.) Superior Court ruled for the City, and was upheld by the 4th district. But Brian Peterson, Grantville activist, notes that the California Department of Finance has ruled that the Grantville settlement agreement is not an enforceable agreement, so, in effect, the City will have to find other sources of funds if it wants to go through with the project. "The side of right may still win on this issue," says Peterson.
