Statehood for the titans of ‘Silicon Valley’
The City News Service informs of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Tim Draper’s drive to get a voter referendum on splitting California into six new states on the ballot in November 2106. This involves a signature push throughout the state this weekend, usually at grocery stores, one to secure the names of a little over 800,000 voters.
“We need to reboot and the Six Californias initiative would bring government much closer to the people,??? Draper told the CNS.
If you go the link and the map, you’ll note that state “Silicon Valley” is the only one to keep a catchy world-trademark name.
In LA County, we would be in West California. And, of course, there is Jefferson.
Venture capitalist Tim Draper said he wrote the initiative because he “wanted people to have a choice, to be local to their state government and to be able to get a refresh so that schools, streets and waterways could improve, poverty would decrease and businesses would want to keep jobs here.???
Yes, all the tech titants could be free of everyone else in Silicon Valley.
