WHAT!?!
California voters are being asked to decide whether their state should broken into three, separate states! Venture capitalist Tim Draper, who is pushing this idea needs 366,000 signatures to get it on the ballot to vote.
He has now said that he has more than 600,000 signatures!
According to CBS News,
If the proposal passes, the Bay Area, along with counties north of Merced, would be considered as Northern California. Along the coast, from Monterey to Los Angeles, would be California and the counties to the east would be Southern California.
The population of each new state would range from 13.9 million people in Southern California, 13.3 million in Northern California and 12.3 million in California. The three new states would still be among the top ten most populous in the country.
Thoughts? Love or hate the idea? Do you think it will work?
