Plan to split California into Six States

[kkt]

It's not an easy task.  You could divide the counties up by cultural and economic factors, so that each state government would pay more attention to their special needs, but then you'd get some of the new states that weren't economically viable.  Some of the counties are also too big and include very different cultures -- Fresno is mostly agricultural but includes mountains for timber and tourism.  San Bernardino includes highly urbanized area, and ranchland, and desert.  Dividing up the water, oil, prisons, UC and Cal State campuses, governmental centers would be a task requiring a Solomon, and there's not very many Solomons in California government these days.
