I'm sick of New York City sending their corrupt mayor trying to steal my second amandment rights. I'm also sick of all the BS wars people in NY city get the rest of the country into. Not to mention their rude, uncouth culture and screwing up our economy. We should excommunicate this city.
that would be interesting if the state did get split, then trying to determine if the capital for "upstate" would stay as albany or shift to buffalo, syracuse, binghamton, or rochester.
the state is already huge as it is, at some points 9 hours from one city to another, i think the state should consider splitting in half. i think it could do more good than harm.
As an upstate New Yorker, I dont want you downstaters supporting the high taxes. You dont want high taxes? Get your city friends to start voting Republican.
new york city needs to become its own state. i get tired of all the bs in albany fucking up everything for the rest of the state.
the new state should be called Long Island, with the capital being one of the following: Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Staten Island or Bronx.. that to be voted on by the New York City voters.
Oh come off of it many states have the same issue. Nearly a half of New Yorkers live upstate and it was two NY City democrats that changed party control.
Look at other States just in the north east.
MA - Boston Metro and then the Rural state
PA - Philly, Pittsburgh and then a bunch of rural areas
How stupid! And what is next? Manhattan will become a separate State not to subsadize Brooklyn, and then why not declare an independence from the US? BTW, what goes upstate is not much, compared to the two greatest rackets: organized education and healthcare. Most of the Medicaid taxes come back to the city, and far greater share of the education funds are wasted in the city than upstate. So, it is not clear yet, who pays for whom.
