The move to break away from the Republik of Kaleefornya continues. 21 of the state's northernmost counties took the petitions to the Secretary of State Dec 6. Here's what the leaders of Jefferson State want:
To elect its own 2 U.S. Senators and Congressional representatives;
To elect its own Governor, State Senate and Assembly, based on Article IV, Section 4 of the Constitution;
Make Jefferson a business friendly state with common sense tax laws and no state corporate income taxes;
Property Taxes to stay in State of Jefferson and more specifically its counties;
Laws to hold elected representatives accountable to its people;
Reduce the 570 state agencies and bureaucracies currently in California;
Constitutionally based laws;
Utilization of its natural resources - timber, water, farming, mining, hunting and fishing; and
A revamping of Social Services.
I cannot remember when there hasn't been this argument about breaking California up – one part in the north and the other the south. Historically, this goes back to the early 1800s when new Mexican citizens argued over whether the state capitol should be in Monte Rey or Los Angeles. They even went so far as to try to make it two separate Mexican provinces.
No difference a century and a half later.
