Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in San Bernardino County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Barstow-to-Needles OHV corridor funding
$250,000 was moved from an off-road race initiative to Hammerking Productions to plan an off-highway vehicle corridor between Barstow and Needles. Desert residents objected that public money is going to a private for-profit company and that riding corridors threaten the Mojave Trails National Monument.
Stormwater Mandates
New stormwater regulations are projected to cost San Bernardino County and its cities a staggering $11 billion. This massive price tag could force local leaders to pull funding from other essential community services to pay for the mandate.
