If you do NOT ACT NOTHING WILL CHANGE. The bill to redesign New York State is still stuck in committee due to lack of support of county officials. While a few towns have passed home-rule resolutions in support, no counties have passed one!
Ask your County to adopt the following home-rule resolution
“Whereas: The views of people who live in the upstate and downstate areas of New York State are very different and really should be divided into separate states, or completely autonomous regions.
It is therefore resolved: that the ______(supervisors/legislators)__ of _ (county name)__County have adopted this home-rule resolution and request our New York State legislators support 2023-24 S3093 & A07385 an amendment to our New York State constitution to partition our state into completely autonomous regions; the New Amsterdam, the Montauk and the New York Regions. Each region has its own regional governor and legislature (Senate and Assembly). All regional legislatures would meet jointly as the state legislature for six weeks a year. New York State pensions remain unchanged. The token state government that would remain has almost no power. "

===========================
Home Rule Resolutions must be sent by a county official via certified US mail to all the State legislators whose district includes all or part of the County adopting the resolution to be a home rule resolution.
Otherwise it is a meaningless non-binding resolution.
