- <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?
