As many of our readers may know, a petition to divide California into 6 different states has been gaining momentum over the past several weeks. Reasons for following through on such a proposal include greater ease of governance as well as more accurate representation of populations in Washington DC. Knowing that many native to the Golden State would be affected, Enabler staff hit the campus this week to gauge student opinion on the matter. Here are some responses.
