Plan to split Calif. into 6 states advances
LOS ANGELES (AP) — California has reached the breaking point, says Tim Draper. The Silicon Valley venture capitalist is pushing a proposal to crack the nation's most populous state into smaller pieces — six of them. California has grown so big, so inefficient, it's essentially ungovernable, according to a ballot initiative that could reach voters as early as November. It has to go, he says. "Vast parts of our state are poorly served by a representative government," according to Draper's plan, which cleared a key government hurdle this week, part of the process to qualify for the ballot. California residents "would be better served by six smaller state governments."
