Needles to Secede?
04-30-08
Hi, I am Tim Johnson and welcome to the California Business Minute.
The city of Needles wants to secede from California for neighboring Nevadaor
maybe just form its own county named CalNeva.
The City Council earlier this month took action by directing staff to examine both
options. One - become a part of Nevada, which is just a few miles away, or remaining
in California but withdrawing from San Bernardino County and forming a county of its own.
Councilman Roy Mills says secession would require approval from Congress, both states
and a popular vote.
The city of 5,700 is 213 miles from its county seat, and officials have had strained relations
with county supervisors since March. They claim that San Bernardino County's been unwilling
to help keep the city's troubled hospital open as a full-service medical center.
The county says it offered $1.5 million to keep some services open but the city rejected it.
I am Tim Johnson and this has been the California Business Minute.
