EXPERT ALERTS:

The Economic Issues of Splitting up California
Nate Cline, Ph.D.
Professor, Economics
University of Redlands
Dr. Cline is a recognized expert in U.S. and international economics and finance who is available to speak on the economic impact of splitting up California: "The economic issues associated with a California split can be thought of in the short and long run. First, in the short run, it is clear that an enormous amount of money would have to be spent in order to disentangle a host of issues, ranging from how to divide California's outstanding debt to how to handle major infrastructure assets. It's difficult to estimate the full cost of this transition because the proposal remains vague on the issues, but it is certain the number will be large."
