Riverside County Supervisor John Benoit says the move hurts valley residents more than it helps.

Projects already approved through the RDA will finish, but after that, some 400 offices could shut down. Governor Brown said "Thursday's ruling guarantees funding for schools and public safety; more than a billion dollars worth." Right now Brown is facing a $13 billion budget deficit.
