Governor’s CA Enterprise Zone Proposal Calls for Elimination Not Revision

Thursday, 23 May 2013 by Vaughn Hromiko

On May 22, 2013, the California State Assembly’s Budget Subcommittee #4 held a hearing that explored Governor Jerry Brown’s latest economic tax incentive proposals as they relate to the State’s current enterprise zone program. In my previous post on this subject, based solely on the language published in the Governor’s May 2013 budget revision, I concluded that significant “revisions” were the target. The recent hearing makes it abundantly clear, however, that the words “elimination” and “replacement” better describe Governor Brown’s proposal. (more…)

Monday, 03 May 2010 by Vaughn Hromiko
