Believe it or not, with 2/3rds of the state wanting to leave, I can assume their representatives in salem would be enough to pass it.

Its the us congress that won’t touch it.

Only by land area. The Legislature has proportional representation. Of the state’,s 4.24
Million population, 2.2 million live in the Portland metropolitan area.

You would assume that! But I wouldn’t guarantee that their state reps would vote that way when push came to shove.

Not quite. It is 2/3 of the land area but a much smaller fraction of the population.

The communists want to be able to tax us for their crazy schemes, but not allow us any voice in government.
