The people in eastern Oregon are generally patriotic and sane, and they’re tired of being subjected to the misrule of the far-Left kleptocrats in Salem, who care about them only as a cash cow to fund their socialist pipe dreams. Accordingly, some have formed the Greater Idaho movement, which actually hopes to detach Oregon’s rural eastern counties from the state and attach them to Idaho. This movement, as fanciful as it seems, is gathering steam, and that has Democrats enraged. Whatever else it may be, their rage is revealing.
Idaho Senate Minority Leader Melissa Wintrow, a Democrat, said: “I’m very pleased this measure has virtually no chance of advancing into reality. It would be bad for all involved and bad for the country, and I am opposed to it at all levels.”
Bad for the country! When Leftists who have nothing but contempt for the America-First movement and seem to put America last in all their policy considerations, start declaring that something is “bad for the country,” it must be very good indeed.
Fox News explained Sunday that Wintrow was “referring to a resolution making its way through the Idaho Legislature that wouldn’t move the Idaho-Oregon border but rather call for formal talks between the states’ legislatures about relocating the boundary line. Last month, Idaho’s House of Representatives passed the bill, which will now be debated in the state senate. It’s unclear if the bill will pass the Idaho Senate, but the chamber is, like the state’s House, dominated by Republicans.” That means that it actually has a chance.

They are making in their pants because they will lose revenue, they are the only ones WORKING in Oregon
Progressing the Constitution: One Man, One Vote (Part I of V).
IMO the counties that comprise a state should be able to vote to eliminate a city from their state....i.e. Chicago/Cook County
It’s a legitimate way for a state to save itself from ruination at the hands of a rogue welfare city gone wild!
Lately the red states have been setting up to use gold and silver (God’s own money) as legal tender... the start of secession IMO...
I propose renaming the remaining counties of lesser Oregon as
“Woebegon.”
China has already bought and paid for it. I doubt they would give it to the Russians.
Save your viriol for the Rats and smell the coffee. Trump is unfortunately a 5 letter word, like LOSER.
Sounds like the ultimate fool around and find out state,
Oregon.
Think what you want.
Yep, thank you for that. I knew it was a patchwork, depending on the state.
There are just so many Supreme Court decisions that have profoundly damaged this experiment in self-rule over the decades and this is just ONE of them - and people are generally unaware how that happened They know things are completely FUBAR, but they don’t know why.
The problem with that, Congress would have to approve a new state. If you think they would agree to that . . .
Shuffling counties around? Piece of cake.
“The people in America are generally patriotic and sane, and they’re tired of being subjected to the misrule of the far-Left kleptocrats across the land, who care about them only as a cash cow to fund their socialist pipe dreams.”
Fixed! AMEN!
I may have confused the states involved. It was some time ago I saw something about that.
