Statement from Governor TM
This weekend, The People will have a non-binding vote on whether to change the region's name. I am glad that we are putting power in the hands of The People on this issue and letting them have the say.
After careful consideration, I will be voting NAY on changing the name. I believe that "The South" already has a lot of history in this region and meaning behind the name. The North and the West don't have the history and pride we have - that is why they were quick to change.
Southerners take pride in our culture and the fact that we're from "The South." I believe that would be diminished if we changed our name, especially to Jefferson. While I would be fine with Dixie or the IDS, I also recognize there is opposition to both names and believe staying with "The South" can achieve the most consensus. The South has worked well for us and will continue to do so.
