January 17 2018 "New California' is actually an old-school idea for breaking up the state" Authored by Abby Hamblin This article is about New California which ¨would exclude parts of California along the coastline from Orange County north to Napa County; New California would include all other parts of California, including San Diego County, leaving the coastal stretch as California.¨ This is an event that is in an act to separate ¨New California, from the old.¨ This event is about how ¨New California¨ is irritated about many consequences of being a part of California. Although congress said: "New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress." which as the article says state lawmakers would need to vote on the separation in order for it to take place. So in other words is it a long shot. This all takes place in California, and this occurred late 2017, and early 2018. Although it may seem impossible they felt that it was worth a try. Ever since the start there has been a divide in California, I think that now it has just finally made them have to pay consequences when they aren’t even a part of the “problem.” They see that the south western part of the state is growing so big and popular, and there taxes are rising because of the face they are in the same state. Ever since the start of The United States “California” the southern part has always been more popular. That is mostly because of Mexico, but also because of the welcoming atmosphere and the very liberal stance. I think that the northern part of California has always been very conservative, and it is like a totally different state. I feel that although it may seem like a long shot at the end of the day it is a possibility and maybe even a reality. I think that it is a change that is very needed, but at the same time “New California” does want a lot of land, and lawmakers most likely won't give it up on either side of the argument.
