RIVERSIDE (CBS) — Is the state of California about to go "South"? Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone apparently thinks so, after proposing that the county lead a campaign for as many as 13 Southern California counties to secede from the state. Stone said in a statement late Thursday that Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino, Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties should form the new state of South California. The creation of the new state would allow officials to focus on securing borders, balancing budgets, improving schools and creating a vibrant economy, he said. "Our taxes are too high, our schools don't educate our children well enough, unions and other special interests have more clout in the Legislature than the general public," Stone said in his statement. He unveiled his proposal on the day Gov. Jerry Brown signed budget legislation that will divert about $14 million in 2011-12 vehicle license fee revenue from four new Riverside County cities. Officials fear the cut will cripple the new cities of Eastvale, Jurupa Valley, Menifee and Wildomar. Stone said he would present his proposal to the Board of Supervisors July 12. The new state would have no term limits, only a part-time legislature and limits on property taxes. "A secessionist movement? What is this, 1860?" Brown spokesman Gil Duran told The Press-Enterprise. Riverside County Supervisor Bob Buster called Stone's proposal a "crazy distraction." "We should begin to get our own budget balanced, which we haven't done yet, and put in place some of the reforms we need in this county before we try and go and restructure the government in the great state of California," he told the Press-Enterprise. "The temperature has gone up in Riverside County and it seems Supervisor Stone has gotten too much sun recently," he added.

Too bad New Mexico is already taken.
Nice pipe dream and that's all it is. You'll still be under the 9th Circus Court, The Feral Government, Mexicans and their gangs and imbeciles in the voting booths. I get the frustration. I was born and raised there and it makes me sick to see how depraved it has become. Nothing less than a revolution will change this country's course.
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
Let 'um go, but they can't take our water with them.
Von Mises associates any Government involvement in markets as "Socialism" , to mislead people into thinking Government is the enemy , when infact empire is the enemy and empire is Privatized.
can't take our water with them We've got two aqueducts from the Colorado river, and Mono lake. You better use what little water you have wisely after we push a million or so illegal aliens your way, and divert OUR water so that it's not wasted in LA. How much diversity can you handle? Hasta la Vista, baby! We'll be changing the name of the LA Aqueduct, to the Santa Ana Aqueduct.
Obama's watch stopped on 24 May 2008, but he's been too busy smoking crack to notice.
Oh NO! Please don't leave us.

We've got two aqueducts from the Colorado river, and Mono lake. You can fight it out with Arizona then. Even with Clifton Forebay Socal will never have enough water without the delta supplying the system. I say good riddance.
Riverside? Adios.
