Stone's idea has some merit, some analysts say. It addresses the problematic balance of power between Sacramento and California localities, as well as the political reality that the 13 counties in Stone's secession drive are far more conservative than the rest of the state. But the vision remains legally and politically unrealistic, many add, and is perhaps not the best solution to the problems it seeks address.
The liberals in the Coastal Cities can then raise their taxes and provide a more socialist utopia without the eastern part of the state trying to inject realism or fiscal restraint. Plus, this would be great for liberals who are for gay rights because they would not have the conservative part of the state striking down their amendments.
I think it should be set up how West Virginia and Virginia are separated. So we would have California and Eastern California. Sounds like an interesting plan even though it will probably not fly.
