It's not breaking from the union, though that's already been discussed. I'm disappointed that it didn't happen. This time, California is thinking of breaking up into three states. The always interesting USA Today has an article about it.
In fairness, the article makes some good points. Someone from Los Angeles will no longer be able to pay "in state" tuition if they want to go to the University of California at Berkley. Same with someone who in lives in San Fransisco if they want to go to USC. The article also quotes a woman from the democratic party of California stating that the break up of California wouldn't solve any problems because instead of Sacramento making choices for her city, the other larger population bases would instead. She's right, and that is a problem.
I'd vote in favor of California breaking up into 10 states. Local control makes all of us better, and in some ways I'd like to think it makes it easier for people to be involved in the governmental process. Sure, it's not perfect but it's a good start.
