Riverside’s Mayor Lock Dawson Makes it to Vice-Chair of the National League of Cities The 2023 Community and Economic Development Committee of the National League of Cities has appointed Riverside Mayor Patricia Lock Dawson as vice-chairperson.

San Bernardino County Votes to Consider Secession Residents of San Bernardino County in California voted to consider seceding from the state and forming their state in the November elections. The county, home to 2.2 million people, the fifth-most populous in the state, and the largest in the nation by area, has suffered from rising living costs. The proposal would need approval from the California Legislature and Congress to proceed, which is highly unlikely. The voting took place in a racially and ethnically diverse county that is politically mixed.
