Three Region Hat
Divide NYS into one state with three completely autonomous regions. The State of New York really should be two or three separate states but autonomous regions should be easier to achieve. We would partition NYS into two or three Autonomous Regions the New Amsterdam Region (upstate) and the New York Region (downstate) alongside a token state government to comply with the US Constitution. A third region Montauk is also a possibility. The token NYS government that remains would have about the same power as the Queen of England! Because we are forming regions not a new state or moving counties between states; Congress can be legally bypassed. Local governments can force bills to be introduced by home rule option Since Congressional approval is NOT needed, our autonomous regions method is more likely to succeed!
