Conservative-Led City Councils Leaving California Group

Five city councils in Southern California have voted to leave the League of California Cities, or CalCities, an organization that lobbies on behalf of state municipalities due to policy disagreements, Politico reported.

The city councils of Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Orange, and Yorba Linda have all voted in the last month to leave CalCities, the municipal lobbying group founded over 125 years ago that includes most of the state’s 482 cities as members.

Many of those city councils cited the group’s decision to join with Democrats in pushing back on a tax reform proposal led by business groups and for backing Gov. Gavin Newsom on Proposition 1, which overhauled how the state treats mental illnesses, addiction, and homelessness.
