Editorial on Tax Savings From Court Ruling in Hayward Annexation
Hayward won a legal battle limiting Union City interference in Hayward's annexation, undercutting Alvarado Sanitary District expansion plans. The ruling, while lowering taxes for property owners, contrasts Hayward's $1.60 tax rate with Alvarado’s proposed rise to $2.03 for sewer service, and secures a Hayward plant costing about $1.5 million. Union City plans to appeal, potentially delaying regional industrial growth and pollution-control progress already in planning.
