Petition for review granted; issues limited

    The petition for review is granted. The issues to be briefed and argued are limited to the following: (1) Is a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) transferred from the city utility to the city general fund a "tax" under Proposition 26 (Cal. Const., art. XIII C, § 1, subd. (1)(e))? (2) Does the exception for "reasonable costs to the local government of providing the service or product" apply to the PILOT ((Cal. Const., art. XIII C, § 1, subd. (1)(e)(2))? (3) Does the PILOT predate Proposition 26?
