BLOOD, JAE HONG AND AMY TAXIN Associated Press RANCHO CU- CAMONGA, Calif. The November elections saw Californians continue to embrace progressive lead- ership, but voters in one of the most popu- lous counties are so frus- trated with this political direction that they voted to consider seceding and forming their own state. An advisory ballot pro- posal approved in San Ber- to 2.2 million people di- rects officials to study the possibility of secession. The razor-thin margin of victory is the latest sign of political unrest and economic distress in Cal- ifornia. This attempt to create a new state which would be the first sinceHawaii in is a longshot prop- osition for the county east of Los Angeles that has suffered from sharp in- creases in cost of living.
It would hinge on approval by the California Legisla- ture andCongress, both of which are highly unlikely. Still, significant that the vote came from a racially and ethnically diverse county that is po- litically mixed, as well as the fifth-most populous in the state and the larg- est in the nation by area. San 20,000 square miles is composed of more land than nine states. The vote attests to the alienation some voters feel from a statehouse long dominated by Democrats whohavemade little prog- ress on the growing home- less crisis, soaring hous- ing costs and rising crime rates while residents pay among the highest taxes in the country. There is lot of frus- tration with state government and how public dollars are spent with far too little coming to the county, said Curt Hagman, chairman of the Board of Supervisors that placed the proposal on the ballot.
The county will look at whether billions of dollars in state and federal funds was fairly shared with local governments in the Inland Empire. From record inflation to friction over the long-running COVID-19 pandemic policies, been a rough few for residents, Hagman said. Kristin Washington, chair of the San Ber- nardino County Demo- cratic Party, dismissed the measure as a politi- cal maneuver to turn out conservative voters, rather than a barometer of public sentiment. it on a ballot was awaste of time for the she said. op- tion of actually seceding from the state is not even something that is realistic because of all the steps that actually go into In San Bernardino County, Democratic vot- ers now outnumber Re- publicans by 12 points.
Still, Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom lost in the county by 5 points in No- vember.He easily defeated a recall last year driven by opposition to pandemic health orders that shut- tered schools and busi- nesses. California was among the first states to close schools and turn to online learning, and also among the last for stu- dents to return to in-per- son teaching. Democrats dominate the California Legislature and congressional del- egation, and the state is known as an incubator of liberal policy on climate, health care, labor issues and immigration, and the vote could be seen as partly a reaction to the priorities. Once solidly Republican terrain, with recent population growth San Bernardino County has become more diverse and Democratic, much like San Diego and Orange counties.
Throughout its 172-year history, California has weathered more than 220 failed attempts to disman- tle the state into as many as six smaller states, ac- cording to the Califor- nia State Library. Earlier breakaway efforts sought to carve out a new of from nearly two dozen Northern Cal- ifornia counties, though they were largely rural, conservative-leaning and sparsely populated. Competition between mining and agricultural interests, as well as op- position to taxation, have driven some of these se- cession efforts. There have been proposals to divide the sprawling state into north and south sec- tions, as well as splitting it lengthwise to create sep- arate coastal and inland regions. outside this county thinks we are the wild, wild said OntarioMayor Paul Leon, whose city is one of the largest in the county.
