Voters approved a research report to determine if San Bernardino County was receiving enough funding from the government and if they would be better off seceding from California in 2022. Results from the study show that they're better off staying put.
A new study analyzing the funding and rationale behind San Bernardino County's possible secession from the state of California reveals that they're probably better off staying put.'Secession would trigger a wide variety of economic impacts countywide alongside fiscal impacts on the county government, local municipal governments, and school districts,' the memo attached to the study said.
In the past three fiscal years, the county has received 9% more state funding per person than other counties statewide â $829 to $763, the study shows. This conflicts with the state controller data that the county used in 2022 to determine that they ranked 36 out of 56 in California counties for state and federal funding per capita.
