Not LA county. From the article:
The counties included would be Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono, which account for 13 million California residents.
Wouldn’t work. The dude is trying to cherry pick counties around L.A. Kind of like the gerrymandering games pols play at redistricting time. Proposal is a none starter, as all these proposals are. Just makes this dude seem either stupid or just not serious.
