Today the Modoc County Board of Supervisors voted to join neighboring Siskiyou County in its bid to secede from the State of California, the Record Searchlight has confirmed.

Board Chairman Geri Byrne said a measure to join the push to form a State of Jefferson was approved by a vote of 4-0, with one supervisor absent.

... The move makes Modoc the second county to join in the fight to form the State of Jefferson in less than a month. Siskiyou County passed a measure to start the secession process at the supervisor's Sept. 3 meeting.

... Supervisors in Butte County, the most populated municipality to consider joining the movement, have scheduled a vote for Oct. 22.

1. Oh no California is doomed without the 10,000 citizens of Modoc County

I hope they don't let the door hit 'em in the ass on their way out.

2. Jerry Brown should figure out a way to give them their own state, bordering Idaho, then

tell them good luck and fuck them. California would be far better off with those reactionary assholes.

3. +1 well said

12. Fuck that, we don't need any more assholes here in ID

Also, California and Idaho aren't next to each, so unless Jerry Brown is going to annex some of Nevada or Oregon, it ain't gonna work that way.

Oh, not such a good trade, eh?

5. Butte county won't vote to secede, the largest city is Chico

My old alma mater where Csu Chico is located and it is very liberal and a large employer of the surrounding areas. Those two counties should go on their own they take more from the state then they contribute. A bunch of right wingers who listen to rush and have fox on all day.
