SPOKANE VALLEY -- Ready for a 51st state? That's what would happen if Representatives Matt Shea and Bob McCaslin had their way, according to a pre-filed bill for the next Washington legislative session. House Joint Memorial 4000 makes a direct pitch to the White House, Congress and the U.S. Senate to create a new state, comprised of what is now eastern Washington. The proposed name: Liberty/Melissa Luck, KXLY. More here.

Question: What do you think of this idea?
