51st State Southern California?

The State of South California is being proposed by Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone, with 13 counties seceding from California to form America's 51st state

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.

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."

The potential new state would have a part-time South California State Legislature, with more power to local governments, and there would be no term limits.

A much lower sales tax and property tax policy would immediately be adopted in the new state.


This is the first I am hearing of this, not sure how I feel about it yet
 
I have no political motivations for this.

I just like the number 50 better than 51.
 
Years ago it was proposed that New York City secede from the rest of NY State and become the 51st state. The basis was similar, that NYC paid much more in taxes to Albany than it got back in benefits, while upstate was sponging off of us.

Nothing came of it, and nothing will come of the proposal for the secession of Southern California.
 
This issue comes up now and then here. The terms under which Texas entered the union in 1845 included a clause allowing us to divide into five states. Far as I know no other state has this agreement with the federal government. But, its not going to happen here anytime soon if ever. I'd be surprised if this idea gets off the ground in California.
 
This will never happen... If any part of the State secedes, Los Angeles will be a part of it...
