Matt McCaw Discussing the Greater Idaho Movement 5:08 PM Monday March 06, 2023, on KWRO
We promote the idea of creating a greater (bigger & stronger) Idaho so that conservative counties can become a part of a red state. We started from rural Oregon, but our movement now includes people of northwestern Oregon who welcome a new, smaller Oregon, as well as Idahoans, Californians, and Washingtonians.
We explain why moving the Idaho / Oregon state line is a win-win for each decision-making body on our homepage.
In the last two years, many Oregon counties have voted in favor of moving the state line. Polling is strong in Idaho and northwestern Oregon.
We believe we do have a chance to convince Oregon to let these counties go because getting rid of a group of counties that have the same average income as Idaho would be a great boost to the Oregon state budget. State lines have been moved many times before.
