ROCKLIN, Calif.—Over 60 Placer County activists for the New California State movement joined a town hall meeting on the evening of May 8, criticizing the state’s high taxes and push towards socialist policies.
The New California movement is a statewide grassroots effort to break most of California’s rural areas away from the current state, forming a new state. So far, representatives from 47 of the 58 counties in California have joined the movement. Fractions of 5 other counties have also joined.
