The north colorado secessionists are in the north east corner, but Moffet county is in the northwest. Maybe they should split into Colorado, and the city-state of Denver.

The secessionist movement in NW Colorado has a long history, last flaring during the Sagebrush rebellion.

I'll agree that expunging the Denver-Boulder quagmire might be easier. Maybe give them one side of a highway to New Mexico, like Denver did with their airport.

If that was a motion, I second it. I'm reasonably sure most Coloradans would be glad to kick the Denver metropolitan area, out of our state.
