Dave Cortese, Supervisor of Santa Clara County  District 3 in Northern California, explains that the CASA compact will be difficult to sell to local communities.  CASA will take local government money and power to govern locally.  Instead, he advocates Housing Development Corporations, with vast governmental powers of eminent domain but not constrained by the rules of democratic government  of transparency and fiscal accountability.  They will be able to profit but will have no oversight.  The CASA Compact is effectively a coup of local government authority. and must be defeated.
