In Vallejo, a warning for medium-sized cities

The Daily Democrat reports:
Disincorporation: The termination of the existence of a city. In California's past, mostly ghost towns have used it.

Could Vallejo be next?

Vallejo City Manager Joe Tanner said city leaders may be facing just such an incorporation decision if voters do not renew the big ticket city Utility Users Tax in November. Meanwhile, while the likelihood of such a move is remote, the leaders say that some residents have been asking them how likely disincorporation really is.
