Peacefully grant State of New York to split into two states.

Its long been know that upstate NY and NYC are two completely different worlds entirely. Such proposals have been supported from the upstate side as well, as some upstate residents also feel that voters in New York City either ignore their economic woes or use their dominance in state government to enact exploitative legislation that favors New York City to the direct detriment of the upstate counties, such as New York State Thruway tolls, state regulated electric rates, water supply availability, garbage disposal, farm labor regulations, natural gas drilling regulations, ineffective economic development schemes, and laws perceived to be too friendly to public service labor unions, and thus want to split off into their own state as well.
