You know things have gotten bad when, instead of laughing their heads off when constituents raise the subject of Upstatehood, the local pols are raising it themselves. And they ain’t laughing.

As a native upstater, YES PLEASE.

Most of NY state is beautiful, and an outdoorsman’s paradise. Unfortunately, we are all taxed and regulated to death by the leftists residing in that sewer NYC.

Wouldn't they have better prospects attempting to join another, preexistent state (e.g., Vermont or Pennsylvania) - thus mooting the issue of getting greater representation in the Senate?
