A beloved lawmaker on the island named John Markey had come up with a plan, a pathway to secede.
It had two parts.
First, Staten Islanders would be allowed to vote on whether or not to study secession and make a charter for a new city.
Then, in 1993, they'd vote on that plan.
Against all the odds, the state approved this proposal.
Now it was on the secessionists to whip the votes.
Yeah.
Singletary began to organize an official secession party.
If they got enough signatures, they could get politicians on their party line on the ballot and raise the profile of the issue.
Sounds like you got the short end of the stick.
You're like, you had a great time checking the signatures.
They would have to collect several thousand signatures to make the secession party an electoral reality.
And they did.
I once read about this political science concept called the logo map.
The idea is that when we make a map of a place, we show a simplified picture that leaves out a lot of the actual territory.
Think of a map of the United States.
What's on it?
The continental contiguous United States.
Not American Samoa, not the U.S.
Virgin Islands, not Puerto Rico.
