Line In The Sand Dept: Riverside County Supervisor Jeff Stone is hoping to lead the charge for the south of California to secede from the north, creating its own state called 'South California.', according to The Star. Serving as a Republican supervisor for Riverside County, Stone s quest for a new state is grounded in his disenchantment with the California's financial crisis, which he blames on 20 years of ruling by anti-business Liberals in the state's northern capital Sacramento and the notion of Canada as America s 51st state could be coming to an end if a politician for Riverside County, California, gets his way. I m drawing a line in the sand and saying we ve got to wake up in California before it is too late, Stone told the Toronto Star . Either we are going to fix the state through a constitutional convention or our final opportunity is to get like-minded states that value business and quality of life to form the new constitution for a new state.
