    California politician calls for 13 counties to secede from the state

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...k9H_story.html

    Good luck making that happen with a democrat in office. They can call it Baja California... oh wait that's already taken

    This would be hilarious without water from Northern California they wouldn't survive. He should just ask to have it join Arizona.

    “Los Angeles just enacted a ban on plastic grocery bags. That put three or four manufacturers out of business.”
    There are entire factories that produce ONLY plastic bags?

    tl;dr: Tt's not going to happen. People just like to make noise about it every 6 months or so just because the word "secede" gets themselves a lot of attention.

    A spokesman for Gov. Jerry Brown (D) called Stone’s proposal a laughable political stunt
    exactly.

    To be fair, he's correct in saying that California is an ungovernable financial catastrophe. I think that it will take a state constitutional convention to fix it's problems.

    Note to other states: Do not use the Proposition system. It will ruin you. Direct democracy doesn't work.

    Is this like, a twice a year thing? Or did they just go through a few years of constantly reproposing it?

    The idea has been brought up pretty consistently since the mid 1800s

    There are many places that only produce plastic bags. International Paper has a plant here in Oregon that does nothing but garbage bags, grocery bags, and plastic wrap (Think Saran Wrap for industrial use). It doesn't surprise me at all that a ban on plastic grocery bags could shut down entire plants. In fact, I fully expect it to force major changes in the entire packaging industry.

    Sounds like what I was thinking.

    Secession is getting old already.
