California Gold Rush county votes to secede and form state of ‘Jefferson’

“Leaders of a rural Northern California county are inviting communities in both California and Oregon to join them after voting on Tuesday to pursue seceding from the state.  The Redding Record Searchlight reported that the Siskiyou County Board of Supervisors approved a plan to form their own state, ‘Jefferson,’ in a 4-1 vote, citing a lack of representation at the state level and complaints about a $150 fire prevention fee for homeowners in smaller counties like Siskiyou.  More than 100 residents reportedly packed the meeting, most of them supporting the decision.  At least one neighboring county, Humboldt County, is considering a similar plan.”
