Statehood for South Florida?!
Well, ye socks, here's the craziest idea I've heard out of South Florida in a long while . . . and, that's saying something.It seems there is a movement afoot down there, led by the level-headed city commissioners of North Lauderdale.
They passed a resolution last week calling on other South Florida municipalities and counties to band together to secede from the state.
In the words of Commissioner Rick Moyle, they hope their little resolution will "stir something up."
The nearby city of Margate it taking them seriously, and are scheduled to vote on the resolution themselves tonight.
I guess, I have just one thing to say to those two commissions: Be careful what you wish for.
They might be surprised to find a lot of folks in other regions of the Sunshine State would respond with a big GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!
Not me, of course. Just a lot of other folks.
As a 10th generation Floridian, I think dividing up our great and sovereign state would be a travesty.
However, I am open to the idea of finally rescuing our capital from the cesspool of Tallahassee and moving it down to a more central location . . . say, Orlando perhaps?
Engaging in this sort of sectionalism is dangerously fun, isn't it?!

I was wondering if I could use that picture for a South Florida Statehood Cause I'm starting on Facebook?
Certainly.
The Reason for this is because south Florida Metropolitan Area (Dade, Broward, Palm Beach) make alot of money for the state yet they don't see alot go to helping fund and maintain there counties. North Florida is ignoring south Florida. A more centralized location like Orlando, or maybe even Tampa would be better in some ways. But what has to happen is South Florida Metro Area needs to see more money they make. If not the Southern Statehood is a possibility the bill has be proposed once in 2008 and has been proposed again
