Impact analysis
Supporters argue the split could shift tax and regulatory burdens; critics, including a former county finance official, say road funding formulas wouldn't improve.
Backers say inland rural counties would gain political voice and control of their resources.
Skeptics warn a failed split could embolden the state to further deprioritize rural counties.
