The City of North Lauderdale is taking a tough stance on home rule, and because of this they are spearheading an effort to split Florida into two states. They have passed a resolution, asking that a boundary line to split South Florida from the rest of the state be drawn at the Palm Beach County line. They're taking it so seriously that they want counties in South Florida, such as Miami-Dade, Broward, and Monroe to join in supporting them.
CBS4 viewers responded enthusiastically, and often humorously, when asked to submit a motto for the new state of South Florida.

I suggested the motto: "North Cuba"

As goofy as this sounds, there is some merit to it. North Florida is to South Florida, as Georgia is to New York.

North Florida is to South Florida, as Georgia is to New York.
For a while yet at least. The retirees and urban sprawl is creeping ever northward. It is only a matter of time.

Congress' and the State Legislature's consent are needed for this. If they think a democrat owned Congress is going to go for this, they are smoking crack.

I want New Jersey to go for this also. Take Trenton, Camden, Atlantic City, Essex County, Passaic County and Hudson County and let them be New Jersey. Let the rest become the Garden State.

That way the Democrat Party can disenfranchise both of them!
Maybe the Northern Counties can just join Georgia...

If they think a democrat owned Congress is going to go for this, they are smoking crack. They probably are smoking crack, and the Dems would love it.......Two guaranteed liberal senators and several more liberal representatives in the House.........

If it wasn't for that pesky Constitution.
Section III. New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
