A splendid alternative to COLOEXIT. Move
Weld County, CO to Wyoming. There is a Facebook group promoting the idea of putting
the idea on the 2021 ballot.
Far fetched?
Would Wyoming want Weld County? Consider that the Watennburg
field, the majority of which is in Weld County, is the 4th largest
in the country. In 2015 the county produced 4 out of 5 barrels of crude in the
state. The county is even bigger in natural gas production. The county
infrastructure is mature and in decent condition.
Weld County has a population of over 300,000. Since Wyoming
is the least populated state (540,000) and has only one Congressional
representative, Wyoming would pick up another seat.
This is something I can get involved. Will it work? Probably
not, but it will discomfort the (P)regressive assholes that now dominate state
politics.
