One of California's largest counties will consider whether to secede and establish a new state, a largely symbolic move driven by economic stress and frustration with state government.
The residents of San Bernardino County voted to begin researching options to secede from the state of California due to rising crime and soaring costs of living.
An advisory ballot proposal OK'd by voters in San Bernardino County directs local officials to study the possibility. The county has more land than 9 states, and 2.2 million people.
