We are not far off from the installation of walls to keep people in.

We are looking more and more like the old Soviet amalgam of eastern European states every day. “Mr Socialistas, tear down that wall!!!”

As I understand it, New York and Pennsylvania and the U.S. Congress would all have to approve a change in state boundaries.
Somehow I get the feeling that Cuomo and New York would never approve this.

Every time a group of people yearning for a better life choose to simply remove their lands away from the leadership that is keeping them unhappy, that leadership fights to keep them where they are. ‘Twas ever thus, across all cultures and continents. I hope they succeed... but the big-government lovers cannot allow it to happen.

Maybe Pennsylvania can start arming an insurgency.

Not to mention PA’s new rat governor Wolf who is as commie as any of them if not more.

The Southern Tier is desolate, said Conklin Town Supervisor Jim Finch (R). We have no jobs and no income. The richest resource we have is in the ground.' It's been like that for the last fifty years...the cancer that is New York City keeps them in shackles.

Career politics has degenerated into simply staying in office in order to live a sumptuous lifestyle. At best, it’s an oligarchy. And the oligarchs will never allow freedom seeking subjects to secede. Not in New York. Not in Kalifornistan. Not anywhere in the US. It would upset the socialist order (of those states).

Today , Gov. Cuomo was on the radio advertizing New York State as Snow Trail Country; larger and more trails than all the trails of NH/Vt/Mass/Conn/Me.
His recent inauguration as Governor was held downstate, in New York City, the land of Sheldon Silver .
He has ignored problems of almost all of upstate New York, except at re-election time.
Such behavior has consequences , including secession and looking into joining Pennsylvania ; similarly, Long Island is looking into secession from NYS as well.
That should give you an idea of what the rest of the State thinks of Cuomo;
if GOPe (NJ) Christy had given Republican Asterino money from Republican coffers for the recent election,
New York State would probably have had a new Governor .

Stories that include the word secession seem to be adding up.

They say that between Philly and Pittsburgh lies a big stretch of Alabammy.

Pennsylvania won’t be an improvement. The cities are just like New York City. Plus we have a Democrat commie governor and Republicans who are more liberal than Democrats
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Stay away. We don’t need a third Democratic bastion. Scranton /Wilkes Barre is enough.
