During a recent Board of Supervisors meeting, an Inland Empire real estate developer made his pitch that San Bernardino County should become its own state.

"San Bernardino County has long suffered enough," said Jeff Burum. "The state of California continues to allocate resources to the high-cost areas to our detriment and other inland valley communities... We have been the dumping grounds of whatever you want."

With the support of two mayors, Burum told the Board of Supervisors that the county should secede from California after being neglected, ignored and never prioritized by the state.
