The 51st state in the union: South California?

Another change that i think would mess things up even more if it did happen.
(Maybe not now thinking about it)

The State of South California is being proposed by Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, with 13 counties seceding from California to form America's 52nd state.

The proposed 51st state, of course, being the already proposed State of Jefferson in Northern California.

According to Supervisor Stone and supporters, secession would allow officials in the new state to concentrate on securing borders, balancing budgets, improving schools and creating a robust economy.

"Our taxes are too high, our schools don't educate our children well enough, unions and other special interests have more clout in the Legislature than the general public. It has to change," said Stone.

The State of South California would start at the Mexican border, continue up through the desert, over the Sierras and into the San Joaquin Valley.

Stone proposed that Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties should immediately unite to form the new state.

Los Angeles County, Ventura County and Santa Barbara County, which are currently part of what is known as "Southern California", would NOT be included in the State of South California.

Apparently, the counties with the most fame, wealth, power, influence and Botox are not welcome in America's 52nd state.

Stone continued, "We have a state Legislature that has gone wild. They just don't care. Their goal was to get a balanced budget so they could continue to get a paycheck," Stone said by telephone late Thursday. "There is only one solution: A serious secession from the liberal arm of the state of California. I know the state of California can do better."

Do you think they are proposing seceding because of the Prevalence of Illegals in Southern California?

I read somewhere that California had 12 million Illegals. Probably wrong though.

Once the Illegal Immigrants take over and if they do

They make start a La Raza type situation where they want to secede and/or start a war.

You know you might have something there. But most likely its to balance the budget easier.

It would be nice if you would post some content from the sources in the OP.

Thanks

edit: Thanks for the content!

I like this quote:

"Los Angeles County, Ventura County and Santa Barbara County, which are currently part of what is known as "Southern California", would NOT be included in the State of South California."

So what is now Southern California would essentially be relabeled as Northern California?

I honestly don't know much about California Politics as it seems the rest of the World only sees it as a place to shop, get some sun and maybe see some stars.

Thanks to this thread, I'll have a closer look. Deny Ignorance right?

Thanks!

Just another cry for attention.

I am so sick of people putting forward the "Succession Plan".

Nobody has ever really meant it.

They will get their "TV" time.

Then we will never hear another word about it.

Well as someone who has lived in California (San Francisco) for a long time I think its a GREAT. What is now Southern CA has always been a huge drag on the states economy. I think they should have to take LA though.

I have also lived in other states TX, FL and Tennessee for a few years here an there. Let me tell you, people may say that Californians are crazy but there are big GIANT bags of crazy in some of those Southern states...esp. Tennessee. I have never encountered more hateful, vile people in my entire life...not all of them but a good many of them.

Personally, I am happy that Jerry Brown in Governor again. I think that is the real issue here, he is not putting up with a lot of B******T from either party and they don't like it.

Yeah I saw this. The guy proposing it doesnt quite have the support he hinks he does. I cant see this going anywhere other than as a thought.

It isn't really a secession, though, right? They don't want to leave the USA, just separate from CA.

Sacramento will never let this happen, and let all that oil income go? No way.

It's kind a chicken-poop thing to do anyway, just a way for them to try to run away from the worst problems and not have to take responsibility for fixing them.

That's weird, Obama says he visited 57 states and still had one to go. Since he is the most intelligent president /ever that means we have 58 states!
