It also says it would be "in the best interests of the citizens and residents" to divide the state.Commissioner Rich Moyle says they're frustrated with the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.When asked Tuesday about the resolution, Governor Charlie Crist could only muster up a laugh.Meanwhile, other municipalities and counties are being asked to join in the resolution. The boundary line would be from Palm Beach County down through Monroe County. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or let Key West take over as the capital and then "South Florida" could be part of the Conch Republic. Then the continental US boundry would be north of Okeechobee.

They SHOULD be their own state or The North Caribbean,lol...but I don't think they want to lose the state money that places like Disney, Universal and Busch Gardens bring in. lolLast I checked, Miami Metro-zoo and Miami Seaquarium are that big a deal. lolSouth Beach is nice and all, but they will lose TONS of state tourism money with the loss of Orlando and a bulk of the citrus growers being up north. GO BULLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
