They already are in culture and generally how the people look at life.. Lots of value in the ideas. It's the money that would produce and sustain a state . The cultures are so drastically different from the Westside of these States Oregon and Wa anyway), I wonder why a sincere effort hasn't been generated. I do know that when most of the local money is kept for things not seen ( like highway works on the Westside), it's time for a fresh look at the idea. Personally for me ( who doesn't live here), it seems to have merit no matter what one might call it. I like the idea of N Idaho, E Wa and E Oregon thinking about being independent.

We're kind of oil and water, but we could call our 51st state Spodaho, and who in the mass media wouldn't love to say that word all day and night and who in the new state wouldn't love hearing all about ourselves all the time. Lincoln would have to wait for 52, I guess, which would probably be about 6 months later, when eastern Spodaho gets a burr under their saddle and decides to go it alone.

I remember hearing something about "Reagan State" back in the day, glad that's still not circulating, "Lincoln State" would be far better.

Instead of State of Lincoln it's called Washaho. The Peoples State of Spotucky pledges full military support to this new state on one condition. Instead of State of Lincoln it’s called Washaho.

It would make a lot of sense ---both politically and regionally-- to make that combination happen, but then again there's nothing like a good East v. West rival, and both have a lot to offer within their own entities. Not being an original Washingtonian, I had no idea that was even a proposal.

Bad idea then, bad idea now.

Something to think about. Not enough tax base but it's fun to explore the idea. D Still a decent idea to support “Lincoln” as a state. Something to think about.
