A proposition
will appear in California’s November 6th primary to split the state
into 3 separate states. CNN journalist Madison Park covers this story in their
article Initiative to break California
into 3 states to go on November ballot (https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/13/us/california-three-states-initiative-ballot/index.html?ofs=fbia). This decision was proposed by venture capitalist
Tim Draper and is motivated by a desire to “allow regional communities to make better and more sensible
decisions for their citizens to address the state's most pressing issues,
including the school systems, high taxes, deteriorating infrastructure and
strained government (Park).” The “Cal3” website describes the split as similar
to “North Carolina and South Carolina; North Dakota and South Dakota; West
Virginia and Virginia (Park)” and states that “California is already known for
its Northern and Southern identities (Park).”
