divide Florida into two states: North Florida and South Florida.
The reason? The North Lauderdale City Commission resolution says
it's not confident in state leaders when it comes to collecting and
spending their own money.
The resolution states it would be "in the best interests of the
citizens and residents" to divide the state.
Commissioner Rich Moyle says it was based on frustration with
the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But
he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.
The commission is asking other municipalities and counties to
join them. The boundary line would be from Palm Beach County down
through Monroe County.
Margate takes up the issue Wednesday night.

Better idea, from brownsville tx to accross fl panhandle, going 150 miles inland. This we make a ne’s lifew state. We can then truly call it the Gold Coast cause all the benefits would improve every single person. More monies would stay in the area, we would not be funding other area’s then ourself’s, not getting back pennies on the dollar we send north, better schools, better health care, more industry, better life styles, better insurance, etc
