^ Gotcha, well the County definitely adds another level I hadn’t considered. I just assumed we were talking about the city. Either way, I agree...fun to think about.

An idea to ruminate upon... The United States with only 38 states, a proposed realignment from the 1970s meant to place large cities at the heads of their own states while lessening the total number of states, pursuing increased efficiencies in government. This idea was proposed by Prof. George Pearcy of California State University. It'd never happen, but it's an interesting thought exercise.
Benefit for STL: We'd get East STL into the State of Osage.

Interesting map. This seems like a method of potentially reducing the power of cities like KC and STL in their states, though. Just imagine if we had a nearly the same amount of rural area and only one metro, not two, to run up more Dem leaning votes in.gone corporate wrote:An idea to ruminate upon...
