Plan To Split California Into 2 States
This idea almost certainly won't get too far, but it's actually a pretty good idea considering the size and diversity of this state!

But as well as considering a single split. Maybe breaking us up in about thirteen states would give us 24 more US Senators not from the east coast with there own east coast pet projects and earmarks. I'd little more balance in D.C.
LOL here's a thought...12 more states with medical pot now legal, "Imagine that"
Either way I'm screwed I like in Kern Co.

The idea of splitting up Nye County, the third largest county in area in the U.S., has been murmured about for years, but now the discussions are getting louder at both the county and state level. There is a chance the question of splitting Nye County could be placed on the November 2012 ballot.
The Nye County line was moved most recently in 2001, with the passage of Senate Bill 395, introduced by State Sen. Mike McGinness, R-Fallon, on March 19, 2001. It extended the Nye County line two miles into Clark County, from CAAS Road to almost Trout Canyon Road. Then there was Bullfrog County, created by the Nevada Legislature just before it adjourned at 3:45 a.m. June 18, 1987.
