End the Counties\u2014Create Regional Government Instead?<\/a><\/p>\n

There has been a movement for several years to end the 59 counties in California and instead create regional government, somewhere between ten and twelve. Some of the proposals have the regional governments appointed. If you live in Stockton, do you want an unelected officials deciding zoning matters, someone that lives in Auburn?<\/em><\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not California\u2019s Big Government, It\u2019s Too Many Small and Stupid Governments<\/a> <\/p>\n

Such regional counties would need more power to devise regional solutions to the state\u2019s most pressing problems: schools, traffic, and housing. And, as California 2.0 argues, they\u2019d need expanded boards of supervisors (California counties today typically have only five supervisors) and elected county executives to improve democratic accountability.<\/p>\n

And if California politicians want to make real progress in their one-state war on climate change, they\u2019ll need to embrace truly regional counties. Today\u2019s state regulations on climate are unlikely to show much in results, in part because they require coordination between our fragmented local governments. But if we had counties that actually fit our regions, California might have a fighting chance of saving the world.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
