I've seen articles posted where CA residents in Northern CA wanted to split the state in two. Never anything from the southern part. So this should please everyone.
And, if this gains traction and somehow goes through then we in IL can plan to kick Chicago and Cook County out of IL. As that's the only way we out in what's called the 'Collar Counties' and the rest of IL can get real representation. Chicago & Cook County has so many dam State Senators and Reps that they 'rule' all of Illinois right out of 'City Hall'(1).
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!
(1)Chicago City Hall and the Cook County Building are both in One Big Building that they share. It's split right down the middle. City Hall is on the West Side facing LaSalle Street and the 'Cook County' part is on the East entered from Clark Street.
It’s not going to gain traction. Guaranteed. I’ve lived in CA 35 years and know the state like the back of my hand. It’s not going anywhere. Heck, awhile back the San Fernando Valley tried to secede from the City of L.A. That actually made it on the ballot where it was soundly defeated. Anyone who actually thinks the system is not rigged against secession is smoking something that isn’t tobacco.
Au contraire monseur! That would inflict Chicago based rule on the entire state of Indiana.

The Hell you say!
We don’t want that f*#%ing cesspool.
