A northern California city has declared itself a 'constitutional republic' in a bitter push back against a 'barrage' of Covid-19 health restrictions.
Council members for Oroville voted 6-1 in favor of the measure, stating it would oppose state and federal orders it deems to be 'government overreach'.
Leaders said that the designation was a way of affirming the city's values after fiercely opposing Covid lockdowns and school closures mandated by Governor Gavin Newsom.
But a legal expert has said that passing the resolution was only a 'gesture' and it did not give the city's council any more authority.
As the vote was passed one member even warned residents of the city of 20,000 that the designation had 'no teeth' and was just a political statement rather than a push for independence over mandates.
