They county governments near the big cities in California are virtually powerless compared to the city governments. To better understand California’s politics, consider the big metropolitan areas and not just county lines.
That maybe true but any county with over 3 million mostly wealthy residents still has a good bit of clout. Maybe not as much as LA but it still wouldn't be smart to just dismiss that much money.
With such a large county getting on board it may embolden some of the smaller conservative counties in the western and northern parts of the state to join as well making things more difficult for the nut jobs in Sacramento.
