The move is a direct response to Proposition 50\u2019s approval on Nov. 4, which that board and the resolution\u2019s sponsor say underscores rural frustration with Sacramento\u2019s political dominance.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1856\" data-end=\"1893\">The timeline and what happened<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"1894\" data-end=\"2480\">\n<li data-start=\"1894\" data-end=\"2037\">\n<p data-start=\"1896\" data-end=\"2037\">Nov. 4, 2025: California voters approve Prop. 50, an amendment adjusting congressional district maps.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2176\">\n<p data-start=\"2040\" data-end=\"2176\">Nov. 6, 2025: Assemblymember James Gallagher presents his resolution to the Shasta County board.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2177\" data-end=\"2344\">\n<p data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2344\">Same day: The board votes 3-2 to adopt the resolution supporting the notion of separating the inland region into a new state.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2345\" data-end=\"2480\">\n<p data-start=\"2347\" data-end=\"2480\">Notably, the word \u201csecession\u201d was removed from the final language following board discussion.<span class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"><span class=\"ms-1 inline-flex max-w-full items-center relative top-[-0.094rem] animate-[show_150ms_ease-in]\" data-testid=\"webpage-citation-pill\"><a class=\"flex h-4.5 overflow-hidden rounded-xl px-2 text-[9px] font-medium transition-colors duration-150 ease-in-out text-token-text-secondary! bg-[#F4F4F4]! dark:bg-[#303030]!\" href=\"https:\/\/shastascout.org\/with-prop-50-in-place-shasta-votes-to-support-forming-a-new-state\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"relative start-0 bottom-0 flex h-full w-full items-center\"><span class=\"flex h-4 w-full items-center justify-between overflow-hidden\"><span class=\"max-w-[15ch] grow truncate overflow-hidden text-center\">\u00a0Scout<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2514\">Key players &amp; motivations<\/h4>\n<ul data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"3272\">\n<li data-start=\"2515\" data-end=\"2747\">\n<p data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2747\"><strong data-start=\"2517\" data-end=\"2536\">James Gallagher<\/strong>: The Republican state assemblyman behind the resolution, Gallagher said the passage of Prop. 50 \u201cfurther concentrated power in Sacramento at the expense of rural voices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2748\" data-end=\"2916\">\n<p data-start=\"2750\" data-end=\"2916\">Board of Supervisors: Three members voted in favor; two opposed. Supervisor Matt Plummer and Supervisor Mary Rickert voted no.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2917\" data-end=\"3272\">\n<p data-start=\"2919\" data-end=\"3272\">The motivation: Inland counties\u2014many of them rural and conservative\u2014argue that the political and economic clout of coastal urban regions has overshadowed their local needs, from wildfire mitigation and utility bills to representation. Gallagher said: \u201cThey don\u2019t really care about us, because they don\u2019t have to.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"3274\" data-end=\"3325\">What the resolution says and its limitations<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3326\" data-end=\"3783\">The adopted board resolution endorses the idea of exploring a \u201ctwo\u2010state solution\u201d in California (coastal vs. inland) but stops short of calling outright for secession. It encourages local jurisdictions to weigh in and invites further study of the feasibility of a separated inland state. The significant legal and constitutional hurdles remain: approval would require the state legislature <em data-start=\"3717\" data-end=\"3722\">and<\/em> the U.S. Congress.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"3785\" data-end=\"3841\">Why local readers in El Dorado County should care<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"3842\" data-end=\"4026\">While El Dorado County did <em data-start=\"3869\" data-end=\"3874\">not<\/em> vote on the resolution, the movement underscores a broader regional tension between California\u2019s inland and coastal counties. Residents here may ask:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4027\" data-end=\"4445\">\n<li data-start=\"4027\" data-end=\"4129\">\n<p data-start=\"4029\" data-end=\"4129\">Will this affect state funding formulas or resource allocation in the Sierra and foothill regions?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4130\" data-end=\"4269\">\n<p data-start=\"4132\" data-end=\"4269\">Could this kind of movement influence future redistricting or representation in Sacramento that directly impacts communities like ours?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4270\" data-end=\"4445\">\n<p data-start=\"4272\" data-end=\"4445\">Does the grievance over Prop. 50 signal growing political polarization that could shift state policies on topics like water, wildfire, utility costs, and local governance?<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"4447\" data-end=\"4483\">Voices of support and caution<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"4484\" data-end=\"5090\">Supervisor Kelstrom, one of the \u201cyes\u201d votes, observed that the removal of the term \u201csecession\u201d was deliberate to reduce legal risk yet still send a strong signal. \u201cWill we get some hurdles? Yeah, absolutely,\u201d he said.\u00a0<br data-start=\"4741\" data-end=\"4744\" \/>On the opposing side, Supervisor Plummer questioned how many inland counties would really join the movement given that several of them supported Prop. 50. \u201cIf they\u2019re willing to go as far as voting in favor of Prop. 50, the likelihood that they would then be interested in seceding \u2026 seems low,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"5092\" data-end=\"5113\">The road ahead<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"5114\" data-end=\"5596\">Although the resolution passed, analysts say the odds of actually carving out a new state remain slim.
