1. Secession requires a majority vote of the state congress. Since the left owns both the legislature and the governor’s office, and since they get the benefit of revenues from eastern Washington with accountability, do you think the majority would ever see it in their interest to give up the cash cow?

   Splitting Washington, Oregon, or Cali is a conservative pipe dream. The I-5 Corridor voters will never support it. They need east side money to pay for stadiums, ferries, light rail, and all the homeless in LA, SF, Portland and Seattle. But I applaud the effort. They may not listen, but they also cannot entirely ignore the dissention, since it is often a topic of amusement at their various fund-raising/social(ist) events. Well, that, and how radioactive and barren and poor “that other part” of the state is.

   “Endeavor to perservere.”

   1. That should say the benefits of revenues without accountability.

   2. Presently, eastern Washington is NOT a cash cow! Because of the long stretches of state highways that requires plowing and maintenance, and a relatively small tax base, the eastern counties actually drain more state funds than they contribute. So I believe than the legislators in Olympia might be agreeable to partition. Especially if the partition line is anywhere EAST of Grand Coulee Dam…

2. Torrefaction? The Rube Goldberg model hog fuel boiler. LOL
