“This legislative funding proposal is an important step forward, but it does not make our communities whole,” Papan (D- San Mateo) said in a statement. “We are proud to have successfully included this potential relief during a challenging budget year, but the underlying inequity remains unresolved.”

Redwood City could see about $3.5 million return to the general fund if Gov. Gavin Newsom approves the state budget recently passed by the California Legislature, which includes approximately $77 million to close a significant portion of the vehicle license fee owed to San Mateo County and its cities.
