As I begin my term as League president, I've been reflecting on the phenomenal amount of hard work done by our members over the past year. We owe you all a debt of gratitude. Your efforts have set the stage for the lawsuit that the League has filed with the state Supreme Court regarding the State of California's violation of Proposition 22. Kudos to our Immediate Past President Jim Ridenour as well for his leadership on this critical issue. City officials and League staff throughout California worked tirelessly in 2010 to build support for Prop. 22. Despite the fact that it passed with 61 percent voter approval, our cities have been under attack for the past year as state leaders blatantly disregarded Prop. 22's provisions. The lawsuit represents a key milestone in our work to defend home rule and Prop. 22, and the League will keep you informed of its progress through our electronic newsletter, California Cities Advocate.
