Calif. City Shuts Down Quote:
TULELAKE, Calif. –– You can't fight city hall in this tiny town on the California-Oregon border – because you can't get in.
Officials in Tulelake have locked it up tight after losing their liability coverage because of post-Sept. 11 fallout in the insurance industry.
The city has been told insurers are unwilling to provide coverage because the state won't allow them to exclude acts of terrorism.
The three police officers in the one-stoplight town have stopped patrolling and public works vehicles have been pulled off the road. But water and sewers are still operating.
