There’s a renewed push to divide New York, but not into states.

Buffalo area Assemblyman David DiPietro introduced a bill that would split New York State into three separate regions: a New York region, a Montauk region, and a New Amsterdam region.

New York would include the Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond counties.

Montauk would include the Nassau, Suffolk, Rockland, and Westchester counties.

New Amsterdam would include every county north of Westchester.

DiPietro says each region would elect its own governor, legislature, and judicial wing, but for federal purposes, New York State would remain as one state.

You can see the details of the proposal on the NYS Assembly website.
