Ah, Connecticut Democrat Jorge Bush. He's back home, now. At least in spirit.

Seven years after I moved out of California, the state was still dunning me for income taxes. I didn’t even discover this until I went to get pre-qualified for a home loan in Texas.
Four separate liens for unpaid state taxes were on my credit report - all of them billing me for “estimated” earned income during years in which I was a legal Texas resident.
Took a bit of wrangling to peel their greedy claws off me, but I did it.
Left NYS 20 years ago.
Even then they still would send me tax bills.
I told them to go pound sand, in a nice way.
For a while the California Franchise Tax Board tried to collect income taxes on people’s retirements—after they had left the state on the theory that since the retirement was earned in California, they had a right to a piece of the action. I believe the courts slapped that idea down.
Thanks for the info.
A few of the especially important things to do are file a declaration of domicile, register to vote, get new driver’s license and tags, change address on key accounts, and apply for homestead exemption.
Now, that's interesting. I'd never stopped and thought about it, but looking back, nearly every person I knew who pulled up stakes to leave Cali, was of the Normal persuasion.
When we discussed the idea of relocating to Texas with liberal family members, the universal reaction was, "Huh? Why on earth would you want to do that?"
Conversely, our conservative friends all understood our motivations and wished us well.
This makes sense. Why allow you to buy a home in Mississippi and call it your main home but live in California the whole year.?
Of course that isn’t what the article is about at all.
They should get aggressive.
Many of these folks are former system-sucking civil servants who retired at the age of 40 with a full pension then moved to a low tax state where they can screw up their new home with liberal politics.
I’m sure the taxpayers of those states who paid these people’s salary and benefits hoped they’d see some of it back in taxes.
Hotel California.....
We moved to Oregon from the Bay area almost 30 years ago, We own several commercial buildings in Marin county and the CA state board of equalization made our lives hell for several years. Our CPA solved the problem years ago and it all went away. The only time we hit CA is on the way to Texas!
I lived there for 3 years while in the Air Force. Who says walls don’t work?
That’s pretty raw.
I hate the government. They do nothing to help the people.
I LIKE the way you think!
The only problem is that California will just keep raising taxes with the help of illegals and the homeless not to mention the braindead liberals.
Living here is like everyone controls your finances but you!
This is not new for CA and NY. Been doing it for decades.
When we Left (escaped from) the Freak state md, we had to pay 3% on the gross sale of our property . It was worth every penny to be able to leave that LIB sewer. What a mess that pathetic state is.
“....I just hate what all the liberals who have moved here in the last 40 years have done to it....”
You are talking the hordes of Boxer and Pelosi types from the beloved East Coast ...the same kind of filth who to this day are migrating to and bollixing up erstwhile normal states. It’s like a rapidly spreading melanoma.
