A member of California's Riverside County Board of Supervisors, Republican
Jeff Stone, has
proposed<http://fellowshipofminds.wordpress.com/2011/07/01/13-southern-california-counties-to-secede/>that
13 counties in Southern California secede to form their own state.
Those counties are in the largely rural, Republican-leaning southeast of the
state, and include Riverside, Imperial, San Diego, Orange, San Bernardino,
Kings, Kern, Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Madera, Mariposa and Mono counties. That
would leave Los Angeles to remain with the liberal coast and northern part
of the state.

Gil Duran, California governor's press secretary
RedState.com reports
<http://www.redstate.com/dan_mclaughlin/2011/07/11/gov-browns-office-to-conservative-californians-leave-the-state/>that
the response by a spokesman for Governor Jerry Brown, 34-year-old press
secretary Gil Duran, is:
“If you want to live in a Republican state with very conservative right-wing
laws, then there’s a place called Arizona.”
In effect, California's governor is telling conservatives to leave the
state!
Already, California’s unemployment rate is 11.7% compared to 9.1% for the
nation as a whole <http://www.edd.ca.gov/About_EDD/pdf/urate201106.pdf>. Even
the NY Times says California’s budget crisis may be the worst in the
nation<http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/05/05/can-brown-cure-californias-budget-crisis/>,
with a $26.6 billion budget deficit comprising nearly a third of the state’s
budget<http://www.nytimes.com/2011/05/08/magazine/mag-08Jerry-t.html?_r=2&ref=magazine&pagewanted=all>.
California owes $2,362 in debt per resident of the state, and pays a 20%
premium to borrow money compared to better-run
states<http://articles.latimes.com/2011/feb/26/local/la-me-state-debt-20110226>;
its A- credit rating from Standard & Poor’s is the worst in the nation. All
of which would only worsen if conservatives really leave or secede from
California.
Liberals are such warm and fuzzy and tolerant people! Way to go, Governor
Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown!
H/t beloved fellow Tina.
