ART_DECO saidThe residents will only hurt themselves, with a reduced local tax base, unable to share in the wealth from richer parts of Colorado.
But the national Republican Party would love this, because it guarantees them a gain of 2 Republican US Senators in Congress, per the Constitution. They'd only gain 1 Republican Representative in the House, based on population, but those 2 additional Senators are invaluable.
GoNYMets2012 saidThis would result in the new "North Colorado" being far more wealthy than the "rest of Colorado" because of all the natural resources. A good move and I hope they can pull it off.
TroyAthlete saidI'm down with this.
I also think Atlanta and Athens should secede from Georgia and form North Georgia.
And Austin, San Antonio, and Houston should secede from Texas and form South Texas.
New Orleans and Baton Rouge should also secede from Lousiana and form South Louisiana.
Hehe.
neuergriff1 saidThe Colorado secession movement appears to have died. Some of the areas hit the hardest were the areas where a vocal minority were raising this issue. Now, the liberal and most prosperous areas of the state are having to pay for the disaster.

Maybe the prosperous liberal parts of Colorado should have pushed for secession, and saved themselves a bundle of money on these redneck losers.
