Assemblyman Don Rogers of Bakersfield refused to back AB 777 after a late added 15 million Urban Impact Aid raised urban district funding by 36 percent versus rural districts at 9 percent.

AB 777 proceeds to the State Senate amid likely opposition as Hope Sunday on June 14 invites donations to City of Hope.
