Southern California Unlikely to Become 51st State of the Union
COMMENTARY | Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone recently proposed that as many as 13 counties in southern California secede from the rest of the state and form their own state, to be called Southern California.
The reasons for such a move are obvious to those who have followed the dysfunctional government in Sacramento. With over-spending, high taxation, and onerous regulation run amok, California, one of the nicest states of the union in which to live, is experiencing a net emigration, many to somewhat less comfortable but more business-friendly states like Texas.
The idea of a smaller state being carved out of California, the most populous state in the United States, and being governed more like Texas than like the rest of California is a beguiling one, especially for the people living there. But as Ilya Somin points out in the Volokh Conspiracy, a successful secession is very unlikely. The California government would not consent to it, especially since it would rip some of the most productive parts of the state away. It would also create two new Republican senators, something Democrat-dominated California would never tolerate.
