This spring 5 Oregon counties are voting on whether to leave OR and join ID. Even if it passes, the OR government has to agree and I can't see that happening. Then both Idaho and congress have to agree. I haven't heard much lately about what CA thinks about it. The obstacles in front of this are huge.
It would be interesting for Idaho to have ocean frontage.

Can’t blame them for trying even though it’s never going to happen. Most of Northern California has wanted out for a long time.

There’s probably a lot of counties that would like to join Idaho

I used to live in Oregon 25 years ago. It was amazing back then. A hidden gem. Now it's a crap hole. If this happened, I'd consider going back in a heartbeat.

Doesn't the rest of Oregon/Cal have something to say about it too?

They'll not release their prisoners so easily I'm thinking.

The population centers and their representatives do not want to do things for the people, but TO them.

If I wanted to live in Idaho, I'd move to Idaho. Give it a couple more election cycles and Idaho will be blue anyway.

With a little time out to deal with the Japs, the Jefferson State movement has been simmering since 1940...to no avail. But the big difference this time is ...this is a boundary change, as opposed to the the Jefferson movement which is forming a new state. As far as the California counties go, I was made aware at a meeting recently of a situation that could prevent the California mountain counties getting away from Sacramento, regardless of the method. The simple fact is, the mountain counties generate the WATER to sustain 1/3 of US vegetable production and 2/3 of the US fruit and nut production, not to mention clean sustainable hydropower, not to mention lumber production. The big money ag simply will not let the golden goose out of the pen.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

Would it be crazy to prefer to see states split into smaller ones? A big state like that will still be run by its population centers. More small states would have a better chance of canceling out another, liberal voting state.


4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan. smile

OR isn't going to give up half of their coastline and Crater Lake even if there was nothing else they wanted to keep.

Much of Eastern WA would love to split from the left coast.

Eastern Oregon is some beautiful country. Thought of retiring there but the state is ruined, Even see tons of OR plates in Idaho now of people fleeing Oregon

I sure as hell hope it never happens. I'd rather not have all the additional hunters from Oregon and possibly Washington flooding Idaho.

If Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington are so fed up with their western counterparts then it makes more sense for Eastern Oregon and Eastern Washington and any northern California counties to combine and form a new state.

Leave Idaho out of it.
