I've lived in the Valley. It has absolutely NOTHING in common with the horribleness of the rest of LA. It needs to be separate. Too bad for these race baiters and haters. Race baiting and hating doesn't work as well as it did 40 years ago.

Does it matter? I've lived L.A. County for 15 years. Is it not so that the County is where the real power lies?

Hollywood and the liberals create these kinds of messes.Dont fool yourself seperation is over and done now. The liberal Democrats have spoken.

The only reason why the valley is a part of LA is due to Bill Mulholland. Before he came around, LA was hole. Water was the key, but no adeuqate supply existed. Bill conquered many obstacles, finally he figured that since he couldn't bring water to LA, he would bring LA to the water, incorporating the valley into the City of the Angels.

I am all for the seccession of the valley. Screw the rest of the dump.

LOL. Seems I've heard this argument before. What do you think?

My opinion is that the Valley needs to be forcibly occupied and shut down the polls keeping them open just for voters that agree with keeping the Valley under LA control. How dare these citizens want to separate themselves from the other good folks of their city. My gosh, an industrialized area wanting to keep a more laid back enviroment that probaably pays most of the taxes in their fold? What are these folks in the Valley thinking?!?!? < /sarcasm>

"We are not convinced that always smaller is better."

Seems we've heard THAT before as well. I applaud these folks and hope they can secede from the rest of LA
