NORTH LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) -- One city commission wants to divide Florida into two states: North Florida and South Florida. The North Lauderdale City Commission says in a resolution that it's not confident in state leaders when it comes to collecting and spending their own money.
It also says it would be "in the best interests of the citizens and residents" to divide the state.
Commissioner Rich Moyle says they're frustrated with the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.
When asked Tuesday about the resolution, Governor Charlie Crist could only muster up a laugh.
Meanwhile, other municipalities and counties are being asked to join in the resolution. The boundary line would be from Palm Beach County down through Monroe County.

There are 37 states starting secession movements to get free of this Federal Gov't run amuck. Anything that frees us from this anarchy and tax without representation. After a year of Obama everyone is going to jump at the idea of secession. I see no other choice to free the people. Christ is a farce and a politician who laughs. We will see who has the last laugh. NO SOCIALISM for America - EVER!!!!!
