Let's Just Chop Off Those Cities
</hdr><body>
<p>By Janice Castro/Reported by Sidney Urquhart

<p> Inflamed by tax squabbles, water fights and rampant
north-south snobbery, Californians who can't get along often
talk about cutting the state in half. Usually they imagine a
line midway, somewhere around Monterey. But Stan Statham, a
Republican assemblyman from far-north Redding, wants more
radical surgery. He would draw the border above Sacramento for
a new 51st state called Northern California. But that would
leave most of the state's economic hubs--including Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Silicon Valley--in the new state
to the south. Hey Stan, whose side are you on?
