Six Californias

California is a huge state, with 39 million diverse people. It has had so much good happen to it that many don’t seem to realize that now is not its finest hour. One proposal to solve some of the problems is to split the state into pieces. This could make the resulting smaller states easier to govern, more responsive to their citizens, more able to be competitive with other states, etc. Think of how, once again, California could even shake up the federal system for the better.

I like the idea – at least it deserves to be talked about. Maybe it should be a ballot initiative?
