County Supervisor Proposes 51st State Cut Out of Southern California
Published July 03, 2011 | FoxNews.com
A Riverside County, Calif., official is reportedly proposing cutting out 13 counties in Southern California and seceding from the rest of the state.
Supervisor Jeff Stone is presenting his proposal to the county's Board of Supervisors on July 12, the Press Enterprise newspaper reports. He is arguing that the recent budget passed by the California Legislature and signed by Gov. Jerry Brown is basically a raid on local budgets to cover profligate spending.
"We have a state Legislature that has gone wild. They just don't care. Their goal was to get a balanced budget so they could continue to get a paycheck," Stone is quoted by the newspaper as saying. "There is only one solution: A serious secession from the liberal arm of the state of California. I know the state of California can do better."
Brown's office scoffed at the idea.
"A secessionist movement? What is this, 1860?" Brown spokesman Gil Duran reportedly said.

Au contraire monseur! That would inflict Chicago based rule on the entire state of Indiana.
>>> Or better yet .... Cook County and Chicago inside it can be annexed by Indiana. The borders adjoin so that would be easy. Then let’s see how Chicago l& Cook County likes being run from Indianapolis! <<<
The Hell you say!
We don’t want that f*#%ing cesspool.
California should be broken into three states with most of the libs packed into one of the three. That way when they eventually bankrupt the state they’ll only be taking about 4% of the U.S. economy instead of the present 12%. It’s in our (those of us outside CA) best interest financially to see this happen.
If California ever gets a Republican-controlled legislature again, they should start the process.
My thinking was that they'd redraw all the State Sen & Rep borders in their 'new acquisition', and neuter Cook County.
Okay. Then can we just push it into Lake Michigan :-)
Now we've come full circle to my original comment regarding Lincoln trashing the constitution.
Works for me.
