Of course we have seen all the regulated refineries in California be issue free, LOL. And if we have no fertilizer plants, at the rate we are going it is likely, there will be no accidents, there will also be no jobs and tax revenues, but thats no big deal.

The ‘Grapes of Wrath’ in reverse. I pointed that out a couple years ago. Kalifornia has more economic assets than anyplace on earth. Then how come they have the highest unemployment rate and same for poverty and welfare. That’s progress?

Conservatives in Seattle? That’s laughable! Last time I heard a local longshoreman’s union sued private investors, the city of Seattle, etc. etc….because of some environmental impact! They lost! But it appears the City of Seattle have worked out a deal that would avoid tax increases to pay for a court. The arena is self-financed. This deal is still pending based on approval from the NBA. The team, I believe, originated from Oklahoma. The point was is this is just another example of a business fleeing the state of California because they see the handwriting on the wall and see a better opportunity to make the team more profitable! For some people, I know this is hard to contemplate!

Baghdad John Perez & chief propagandist Steinberg can spin all they want. Not even a Democrat majority can repeal the laws of economics.

Someone needs to wake Barb up. She’s a little out of touch with respect to the now and future SACRAMENTO Kings. But it’s interesting that she cites the city of Seattle building a new arena as a good thing, while many of her conservative buddies are against doing the same thing in Sacramento.

Also interesting that us citizen brags about evading taxes, which is a crime.
Although having you California haters “get the hell out of our state” has a certain appeal to it.

Lastly, of course, the recent tragedy in West, Texas should give pause to all these companies that are flocking to anti-regulation states. Be careful what you wish for.

It sounds like the Utah and Virginia governors are taking the high road, truly representing the best interests of their state’s citizens. Too often, what we we see is representation of special interests, and in an interesting spin….non-citizens.

Fat chance they would get a “get the hell out of CA” tax from me. Besides, how would they know?

There was a bill introduced in the California legislature proposing an exit tax. Eminent domain is not a tax, because the State compensates you for taking land.
