Petition to split California into six states gets green light.

Your link is a tad old.... unemployment dropped even more in Dec 2013 and is way better in 2014 than it was under Republican Schwarzenegger.

And......

For the first time in years, California is enjoying a revenue surplus.

Governor Jerry Brown released an update on his budget plan for the coming fiscal year.

The state has collected $4.5 billion more in tax revenue than expected.

The stock market and home prices are up, while the unemployment rate is down, which all lead to more revenue for California.

Overall, California is doing better.

do you think the rates in those Counties has improved in the interim time that those people are jumping for joy?.....lots of farmers in those Counties are Unemployed,especially the ones in Imperial County.....they produce a lot of crops for the Country......the richer coastal areas are the areas doing fine.....the inland areas not so good.....those Counties and the people who live there are part of the State too.....and that "surplus" will get eaten up when they have to pay that huge amount of money to cover the State workers pension fund ....overall the wealthier Counties in California are doing fine....which is the way it always is.....the wealthy get the goodies and the regular guy gets what ever they can spare....

No, I'm sure they are not....but you seem to not see the big picture. They were doing bad when the whole state was doing bad....now the whole state is not doing bad.....geez, it's not rocket science....but I see, you want to keep pooping on their parade.....makes you feel more secure....

whats the big picture Mertex?.....the rich Counties get the bulk of shit while the lessor ones get less but hey maybe somewhere down the line you will get more....the big picture you dont seem to see is that California's Farmers produce a hell of a lot of produce for the Country and they are effectively being stopped from doing that....my buddy has lived in El Centro for years....and he said even when it is 110 degrees in the summer time the Farms a were all green and growing things now he said he has never seen so many farms not growing anything....Imperial Valley has some of the most fertile farmland in the Country if not the world....thats the big picture....

Ca isn't the only state that wants to split. This is what happens when cities get so big they can out vote all of the people in the state who don't live in the city. The state just stops representing everyone else.
