- ‘South California’: Riverside politician seeks to form ‘South California’ – Accusing Sacramento of pillaging local governments to feed its runaway spending and left-wing policies, a Riverside County politician is proposing a solution: He wants 13 mostly inland, conservative counties to break away to form a separate state of "South California.''
Supervisor Jeff Stone, a Republican pharmacist from Temecula, called California an "ungovernable'' financial catastrophe from which businesses are fleeing and where taxpayers are being crushed by the burden of caring for welfare recipients and illegal immigrants.
On Tuesday, the Riverside County Board of Supervisors will consider Stone's proposal to host a statewide summit for city and county leaders to sketch out a framework for secession.
The politician said he was undaunted by scores of failed similar attempts since the 1800s, saying Californians haven't face such dismal economic times since the Great Depression.
"This has struck a chord with a lot of people in the state who have suffered economically,'' said Stone, adding that he has received thousands of emails supporting his proposal. "We know it's going to be a challenge to form a second state, but it's not a impossible. We're sending a message.''

Not going to happen……
- California Redistricting commission cancels next round of draft maps – Rushing to meet next month's deadline for completing its task of drawing new political boundaries for California, the state's Citizens Redistricting Commission decided over the weekend not to release a second round of proposed maps.
The commission was scheduled to release its second set of draft maps this coming Thursday but decided during its Saturday meeting to skip that step "in order to produce the best district maps possible."
The group of citizens responsible for creating new districts for seats in the state Legislature and state Board of Equalization, as well as for California seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, faces a July 28 deadline for finishing its maps, which must be adopted by Aug. 15.

They are running out of time and have faced criticism from the power structure left and right.
I will be amazed if they can reach a consensus and pass a fair set of redistricting maps by the deadline.
