The amendment has been introduced see below
A05498 - S5416 Proposes a NYS constitutional amendment to divide the state into three autonomous regions
    Splitting the State of New York into separate states is preferable, but autonomous regions should be easier to achieve. Because by forming Regions not a new state or moving counties between states; Congress can be legally bypassed. All that is needed is an amendment to the state Constitution. Since Congress is unlikely, in the foreseeable future, to give the Northeast two more US Senate seats a new state would require.
Our Secession plan calls for establishing a more representative form of government than the strange form of democracy NYS currently has which allows downstate to rule upstate which destroys good paying jobs upstate, while upstate can occasionally block things downstate wishes to enact.
We would partition NYS into three Autonomous Regions: the New Amsterdam Region (upstate), the New York Region (NYC), and the Montauk Region (Long Island & Rockland/Westchester) alongside a token state government to comply with the US Constitution. The token NYS government that remains would have about the same power as the Queen of England!

NYS contains a tremendously diverse population and is unique in its dichotomy. The overwhelming majority of the state consists of small to medium sized communities set in a rural and suburban climate; generally conservative values blend with moderate liberal ideals to create a unique political platform. Meanwhile, the downstate counties that make up New York City are significantly more liberal leaning in their values and are world famous for the size and power of the most significant city in the world. It is equally unfair to both upstate and downstate residents to share a representative government; the vast differences in lifestyle and aspirations demonstrate that both downstate and upstate should have their own autonomous governments so as to more effectively serve their constituents. Since Congressional approval is NOT needed, our autonomous regions method is more likely to succeed!
