Lassen supervisors adopt resolution supporting Assembly Joint Resolution 23, calling for greater regional voice
Summary
The board voted to adopt a resolution in support of Assembly Joint Resolution 23, a measure discussed by supervisors as a first step toward giving rural counties greater voice; supporters described the move as largely symbolic but intended to signal dissatisfaction with current statewide representation.
The Lassen County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt a resolution in support of Assembly Joint Resolution 23 after brief discussion about regional representation.
At the request of the chairman, a supervisor explained the resolution is meant to give Lassen County voters an option to seek more regional control and to signal frustration with policy priorities driven by coastal population centers. Supporters acknowledged the measure may not advance but said the resolution is a symbolic "shot over the bow" to assert local concerns.
A motion to adopt the resolution was made, seconded, and passed by voice vote. Supervisors said the step is meant to begin a conversation about regional representation rather than to create immediate legal changes.
What happens next: The board's adopted resolution will be filed as the county's official position; no subsequent county action was specified in the meeting record.
