Issue: North Idaho Secede From State?/Eye On Boise

Sen. Mike Jorgenson (arguing for property tax relief): “People in the north have been sending signals for a long time. It’s evolved into tax initiatives and turning school bonds down. These things all lend themselves to regionalism – God forgive me, I apologize from the bottom of my heart for having to say it, but it gives rise to secession.”

Question: So, should we join Montana, Washington or Canada?
