Voters in 13 Oregon Counties Approve ‘Greater Idaho’ Measure Seeking to Secede From Liberal-Run State
‘We want an economy that is not held back by Oregon regulations and taxes, including environmental regulations,’ the people behind the movement say.
Thirteen counties in Oregon have voted in favor of measures to begin negotiations on seceding from the state and joining neighboring Idaho.
The latest county to endorse the initiative was Crook County, where voters approved the “Greater Idaho Measure” on Tuesday. The proposal aims to move Oregon’s border approximately 200 miles to the west, which would place 14 counties and several partial counties under Idaho’s jurisdiction.
