"The only reason we are in bad financial condition is because of Albany," he said, citing the $3.5 billion in taxes the city pays to Albany but isn't returned in funding. "We just want our own money back."

Vallone, an ambitious politicians and son of the former council speaker Peter Vallone, wants a citywide referendum to create a commission to study secession and the creation of a "Greater New York."

Personally, he likes the idea of calling the new state -- which would be the 10th largest in the union -- Gotham or just New York.

I'd personally love to declare war on another inferior region of New York.

I think it'd be the same with most cities/states. If it weren't for our one city (lol), Delaware would be red too.

Wezas and Tijay shut up.

Would be wierd. If Gotham became it's own state, would the boroughs become cities? I can understand the title Gotham City, but try writing Brooklyn, Gotham as an address.
