There's more developments in the fallout of Friday's news that Menifee cityhood would run into financial problems. Supervisor Jeff Stone, along with fellow Supervisor Bob Buster, are planning a proposal to help defray the costs of supporting additional fire houses.
Basically, they propose to give the new city of Menifee the money it plans to save after cityhood. In other words, the County of Riverside expects to save more money by the fact that Menifee will be supporting itself. Hence, giving Menifee that amount of saved money will help it build the fire houses, without really impacting the County negatively.

Another thing I'd like to add is that Menifee as a city can develop its commercial and retail centers more quickly than the County can, simply because developers can work with the city council instead of dealing with the County.
