It would seem that all the Eastern red counties want the **** out of Oregon. "PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) – Idaho’s House of Representatives voted in favor of a bill that would move the Oregon and Idaho border westward to create a “Greater Idaho” with more legislative power. Passage of the bill, numbered HJM 1, authorizes Idaho legislators to present a proposal to Oregon politicians about relocating the border to the Cascade Mountain range. MultCo report: Nearly 200 homeless people died in 2021 During the Idaho House’s debate, proponents of the bill said applying Idaho law to eastern Oregon would help push Oregon’s drug laws farther away from Idaho’s residents. In 2020, Oregon became the first state to decriminalize hard drugs that are otherwise illegal under the federal Controlled Substances Act. According to the Greater Idaho movement’s website, relocating the Oregon-Idaho border would “reduce the ease of access and convenience of these dangerous products to those who might be tempted by them.” ‘This is possible’: Greater Idaho talks bill proposal Survey shows plurality of Oregonians against ‘Greater … Sen. Dennis Linthicum, a republican serving Klamath Falls, introduced a similar bill to the floor of Oregon legislators on Jan. 10. The bill notes that 15 rural conservative counties in eastern Oregon have proposed to become a part of Idaho, and 11 have already approved ballot measures in support of the change. This Portland pine may be the world’s tallest tree planted on top of a high-rise Matt McCaw, a Greater Idaho Movement spokesperson, said eastern Oregon would also benefit from the border change. “Eastern Oregon is culturally, politically, economically much more similar to Idaho than it is to western Oregon,” McGaw said. “Our movement is about self-determination and matching people to government that they want and that matches their values. In Oregon, we’ve had this urban-rural divide for a very long time.” Oregon’s SJM 2 bill now requires the approval of Rob Wagner, the new President of the Senate, who has told KOIN 6 he does not believe the bill will move forward in the 2023 legislative session." I don't think this will come to pass, but who the **** can blame them? Oregon is one of the nation's leading woke **** holes that, like California, has turned into an absolute shithole. It's pretty damn sad that when your "progressive dystopia" is so shitty that entire counties want out.
Move Idaho border? Not so fast, say many Oregonians Dylan Jeffries/Oregon Capital Bureau Jul 7, 2021 ... Some respondents who oppose the move cited concerns that breaking up the state would discourage a diversity of opinions, setting a dangerous precedent for other states. "This sets a precedent for reshaping other states along color lines and harming the health of our democracy," said Multnomah County resident Margarette Puckette. Many argued that unsatisfied Oregonians already have the option of moving to Idaho. "If members of these counties want to become part of Idaho, then let them move there," said Marion County resident Janis Sabatula. "Why mess with state borders that have been there for more than 160 years?" ... https://www.portlandtribune.com/new...cle_f24d07da-0fb3-5033-a30e-806df2f69868.html
Oh I don't think this happens. But you will see that lack of diversity regardless. Emigration will likely ramp up as the chasm between the two party values increases. Look to New York moving to Florida. Those who can move, will move. But in this case, it's entire farmland counties that have had enough of Oregon's woke shithole policies.
These are entire counties. Farm land and natural resources owned by the individual. They are not some working New Yorker...they are trying to move their resources. Which would be HILARIOUS. If I were Oregon leadership, I'd be more asking "why are entire counties wanting to leave the State? What are we doing to drive these people away?!" But they won't do that...because that would involve some serious soul searching.
It would be tragic, actually. These people are spoiled by life in America. They're so bored in the comfortable life they have that they're inventing things to be angry about and inventing problems for themselves. You may have noticed that Purveyor of Delusions likes to post anti-left nonsense from time to time as well. All of this division in our country is encouraged by our enemies. It's something they want to see, us fighting each other, no longer identifying as Americans but as "red" or "blue" and hating each other over these artificial divisions. Try asking the separatists in Oregon why they want this. I'm sure their reasons are laughable, because whatever is is they think is so bad, it isn't.
Oh I'm sure YOU would think their reasons are laughable but unfortunately they are valid regardless. If I were to look at some of the social and economic policies the **** progressive leadership of Oregon has adopted within the last 5 years I would find things that make it untenable to want to remain doing business within Oregon if given the selection.
It's cute that 60% of the people living in these counties want to move to Idaho. That's all it is or ever will be though, cute.
