| Wildomar residents face cityhood vote
Wildomar residents have spent years pushing for local control. On Feb. 5, the community will determine whether it becomes the newest city in Riverside County since Murrieta incorporated in 1991. Voters will also get to choose from 14 candidates for five City Council seats for the new city. If voters approve by a majority vote, then the incorporation would take place on July 1. Some say they worry that rejection of cityhood by voters could spell the end of incorporation prospects. "Look at any community where cityhood failed," said Sheryl Ade, a Wildomar City Council candidate. "A cityhood vote never happens again. People aren't going to go through the emotional and financial toll again. This is a huge idea and a huge issue." Cityhood proponents said residents have to take advantage of state law that allows new cities to get money and agreements approved by Riverside County that could bring the new city millions of dollars each year.

This just makes me think even more that some day we will have to pay a per game price to see our favorite team play on TV. I love the last quote in the article from Brian McCarthy. McCarthy said theaters were showing games on "huge, huge screens that can attract 50 to 500 people watching the games.
