Northern California counties revive an old idea for a breakaway state - latimes.com
That is right. There is a bigger push than ever from the northern counties of CA to succeed.
They have grown tired of the crap coming out of sacremento and want their own state.
This is more difficult than what it seems. it would take a vote from the CA government and a congressional act which
more than likely will fail in the state first.
they are not the only counties in a state wanting to split. counties in CO want the same due to the same reasons.

Let them go.The debate over the State of Jefferson often boils down to a balance sheet. Laufer's tally from the state Department of Finance concluded that California's four northernmost counties take in $20 million or so more per year from Sacramento than they provide.
At a recent Board of Supervisors forum, Tehama County Chief Administrator Bill Goodwin estimated a loss of $5 million in public works funding annually and a 75% drop in education funding were the county to join in, and he hadn't begun to calculate the impact on health and social service programs.
Then there are logistics: What to do about the state prison in Crescent City? Who gets the Caltrans equipment left behind? And what of steep out-of-state tuition Jeffersonians would be forced to pay in California's higher education system?

We're setting down a dark path if something like this was to go through. As a country, state, a community, we should be finding ways to unite us... not put in more divisions.
that is the problem the liberal controled congress of CA is ignoring people in the north part of the state. same as in CO. those people feel they have little choice left.
the people in charge are passing laws that they do not agree with and tehre is nothing they can do about it.
i had only thought about once moving to CA and that was because i applied for a job with a game company and was going to earn about 6 figures a year.
Uh-huh. They were willing to pay an awful lot for someone who can't spell. But hey I guess if you succeed it's all that matters.

Because it is the State that is represented through Senators. All States are supposedly equal so they all get the same amount of Senators.Why should a state like Wyoming or Idaho, with less than a million people have the same number of senators as California with 25 million people?
I fully support this. It would mean two more democratic senators. Additionally, California is way under-represented in Washington. Why should a state like Wyoming or Idaho, with less than a million people have the same number of senators as California with 25 million people?
You obviously don't have a clue about California politics. Northern California is more liberal than Southern California.

Why does it seem like that to you?From the same article....
Seems this area of the state isn't able to support itself, so how's that going to work for them?

The WHOLE STATE cant support itself.
California is the typical Liberal Cluster ****, as their Liberal Governor claims a budget "Surplus" but then refuses to include their nearly 500 Billion in unfunded State pensions and Health Care cost.
Lies and stupid gullible voters that believe them.
THATS California
Because you don't understand the difference between the House of Representatives and the Senate?
You got what they are representing wrong.No...I understand the difference....I just think it is a severely flawed system...when 2 Senators represent 25 million and 2 Senators represent less than a million. This is why I support California splitting. It would at least cut down the differential somewhat...and it would be two more liberal democratic senators.
Obviously YOU don't have a clue. The map goes like this the Orange ,San Diego, desert rural, the San Joaquin valley, Northern California, minus parts of Sacramento and Stockton are all pretty solidly conservative areas. The coast and the metropolitan areas of Los Angeles and San Francisco are pretty solidly liberal. The liberals out number the conservatives right now by about 1 million population wise.View attachment 67159117
You got what they are representing wrong.
You think people from Tehama, Glenn or Siskiyou counties are liberal?
Menocino county is liberal, Chico is fairly liberal, parts of Humbolt county, maybe, but the area as a whole? No way.
Have you ever lived in that part of the state? I grew up there, and no freaking way is most of this proposed state liberal.
Only by proxy of representing the State the people reside in.True..the Senators represent the state, but they also represent the people in that state.
No...I understand quite well. As a Californian, you are probably aware that the orange areas on your map are the sparsely populated counties. Anyone in California knows that while both Southern California and Northern California trend more liberal than conservative, Northern California is definitely more liberal than Southern California.
