The North Lauderdale City Commission released a new resolution that would see the current state of Florida to be split into North Florida and South Florida.

It also says it would be "in the best interests of the citizens and residents" to divide the state.
Commissioner Rich Moyle says they're frustrated with the state Legislature "ignoring the cities in South Florida." But he acknowledges the idea likely won't pass.

When asked Tuesday about the resolution, Governor Charlie Crist could only muster up a laugh.

The Florida State Legislature is ignoring us, up here in the Panhandle, as well. Maybe we should make it a three-way split. That or North Lauderdale could do what Key West did and secede from the state.
