If approved Nov. 8, Measure EE would direct officials to do what they must to get the county’s “fair share” of state and federal funds.
It’s difficult to prove or disprove whether San Bernardino County is getting its “fair share.” Multiple experts say there are just too many ways government money comes into and flows out of the county’s economy.
The top 10 counties on the document — Alpine, Sierra, Trinity, Modoc, Mariposa, Del Norte, Plumas, Glenn, Inyo and Lassen — are mostly rural, with average to low per capita incomes. Their low populations appear to skew the analysis in their favor over wealthier, more powerful counties with much higher per capita incomes, like Marin, San Mateo, Santa Clarita, Contra Costa and Alameda counties, none of which ranked better than 33rd on the list compiled by San Bernardino County staff.
According to Kotkin, the state is politically dominated by rich coastal communities that pursue a vision of California that prioritizes the needs of those communities, not the needs of the inland regions. Proponents of the San Fernando Valley secession movement had a hard time putting credible numbers to their gut feeling they were being treated unfairly.
Should voters approve Measure EE on Nov. 8, and the Board of Supervisors concludes that secession, rather than lawsuits or other measures, is the only way to secure more funds, the county would have to get the approval of legislators Burum says already don’t take the issue seriously. San Bernardino and Riverside counties combined were the fifth-fastest growing metro area in the 2020 census
