WILDE (LESLIE T.) v. CITY OF DUNSMUIR
C082664 Third Appellate District
Opinion filed: Judgment reversed
The California Constitution reserves the power of referendum to voters with specific exemptions for certain kinds of legislative enactments. The City's water rates, adopted in the Resolution at issue here, fall within the exemption for “tax levies” and therefore are not subject to referendum. We reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeal and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
