Support secessionist movements like this, especially where sectors of cities want to break away from the larger municipality. Cities have exercised a privilege of annexation the past few decades that has no basis in law or equity -- and it really got rolling with school busing for racial-redistribution purposes, back in the Sixties. The result has been a little-discussed municipal predation on persons who had often moved out of the very cities that annexed them.
Didn't that judge who ordered a doubling of Kansas City property taxes to support a massive, court-ordered reengineering of the public schools, back in 1987, also order the annexation of a large sector of the suburbs around the city?
Here in New York, Staten Island wants desperately to get away from the rest of New York City, which treats Staten Island shamefully. That great civil libertarian David Dinkins told them he'd oppose them no matter what their rationale was, because he needed Staten Island's money, and there was nowhere else to put New York's garbage.
Mr. Dinkins, the first black man to be elected Mayor of New York City, had no trouble with enslaving whitey. The voters of New York thought otherwise when re-election time came.

I don't know if they did anything locally. I wish they would have. I do know that they picked the pockets of the entire state to pay for that boondoggle. And it did not do a bit a good for the schools. They are as bad as ever.
