Meanwhile here in NY several counties near the Pa. border are talking secession from NY state! Seems our governor Cue Mo does not like fracking for oil. I live in Buffalo, Erie county, and wouldn’t mind if we seceded and joined Erie County Pa. One big happy Erie family so to speak. :-))
I propose a compromise between Pennsylvania and New York state. We'll (PA) give Erie, Pa (the city proper) to NY. NY gets to keep Buffalo (the city proper), but the rest of Erie County, NY can join PA. To sweeten the pot, PA will throw in all of Lackawanna County in the eastern part of the state. NY can have that for free. Geez, while we are at it. PA should give NJ all of Philadelphia.
