This is a control thing - if a city or county wishes to secede from the state, its website and emails can be shutdown easily now.

That's okay. In my experience every time some place secedes they always want to redesign the website anyway.

No, cities do not have the right to secede and there's no legal mechanism for them to do so. California practices home rule and cities have a lot of power, but they still are overridden by state laws.
