(Record Searchlight) The Modoc County Board of Supervisors today voted to join neighboring Siskiyou County in its bid to secede from the State of California.
Board Chairman Geri Byrne said a measure to join the push to form a State of Jefferson was approved by a vote of 4-0, with one supervisor absent.
"I put the measure on the agenda because I heard from a number of people in my district that wanted to do such," Byrne said. "We're not saying we're seceding today, we're saying let's look into it."
