Maybe not a bad idea. South FL, especially Dade and Broward is like a third-world country with better roads.

Just another attempted shakedown from the corrupt crooks running Miami, ostensibly based on 'global warming'.
I predict complete failure.

Two more Dim Senators isn’t such a good thing, however. Most of the electoral votes would be in the new “state” as well.

South Florida, Western Maryland, East Colorado, DC, PR...the electoral map could become VERY interesting.

IOW two new hard left pro amnesty pro homosexual special rights senators with a far left governor.
If they wanted to be productive move the capital from nowhere talahassee to central Orlando vicinity. (not Orlando itself)

Maybe that part of Florida can join with Cuba (and then watch all of the good Cuban immigrants move to the north).

Some local politicians with delusions of grandeur.
If you are a little fish in a big pond, you try to make your pond smaller in order to increase your importance.

I'd be more inclined to support a separate country rather than another State.
As you note, would most likely result in 2 Democrat Senators from the south and a 50/50 split from the northern half.
Actually think this is really what is behind the idea of spliting States. A massive increase in permanent Democrat Senators and Congressmen.

As someone who fled Broward County after more than 50 years, for northern Florida, I hope this movement gains traction. Personally I would prefer a border somewhat farther north, but the one that is proposed would be OK. South Florida is basically a third world banana republic, run by Caribbean immigrants who have been successful in permeating the culture with their values. The middle class has been squeezed out of Miami and now it is essentially the super-rich and the grindingly poor, not much in between.
My only surprise, and a little disappointment, is that this movement did not begin in northern Florida.

How exactly will splitting Florida in two help combat sea levels?
Flori-dah and Flori-duh.

Who is going to pay for the free stuff?
Is this just Miami? or did all three/four/five counties vote on this?

I find the northern reaches of the new state very interesting.
If, and that is a very big IF, I supported this political and economic grab I would support a different northern boundary. My proposed boundary would follow the “natural” boundary of Stuart - Lake Okeechobee - Fort Myers following various interconnect canals , rivers, and waterways. There are only 17 bridges that cross this new boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
That way, when (not if) the new government of the new state ran out of money, they could easily erect toll booths to extort (excuse me - collect) money from people traveling into their new, Democratically controlled, state.
BTW - one of the expressed reasons for the new state is because the rest of the state is “denying” the necessary funds from Dade County to combat the impact of climate change induced rising sea levels. Or at least that is what one of the local papers is reporting.
