It is my hope that the employees moving from Il to my state of Texas are not "Locust" voters.
If you love big government, stay out of Texas!

Getting closer to your customer is a good strategy but getting away from the confiscatory Peoples Social Republic of Illinois is a nice side benefit.
To: Red Badger
Going South to be in better climes.... I know you're referring to the economic and business environment in a conservative region like Texas, not the weather. ;)

Another business driven out of Illinois by the high taxes.
You can't fool the Laffer curve.
It gets you every time.

I suspect executives in a industry dependent upon the oil and gas industry differ from the average Illinois voter

I love the Texas weather. I grew up in Michigan where it was “9 month of winter and 3 months of poor sledding...”

Houston has pretty good weather overall, except for the occasional hurricane. I live in the Panhandle of Florida, just up the beach..............Just ask Allegra!.............

You ain't done never spent a summer in Houston have you?
Hot and the muggiest place I have ever been. Fourth of July in Houston and the entire population looks like they have wet their pants. That said, I would guess their employees would probably have a longer life expectancy in Houston.

I’m in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida. Same weather here as there and in New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola and Panama City. Hot and muggy is a state of mind. Yeah, the humidity is sometimes so thick your glasses fog up every time you walk outside, but that’s just in the summer. Mild winters and moderate climate by the Gulf of Mexico is great as compared to Illinois. I can avoid getting my car stuck in sand. Not as easy in snow...........

Except for three geographical areas in our state, Chicago, Champaign-Urbana and the East St. Louis area, we are mainly conservative and vote that way. So, you're really painting with a broad brush. Illinois politics is so overly influenced by Chicago (including many GOP candidates) we have little chance to overcome their crap.

I grew up in Michigan where it was 9 month of winter and 3 months of poor sledding... On a tour Bus through Denali National Park in Alaska, the driver said:
"In this area, we do get all four season. Winter is the predominate season. The other three are known locally as June, July and August."

Excuse me, but what's the "average Illinois voter"? One that elects the predominant members of your state government.

You can't fool the Laffer curve. Sure can't, but hey ... Gov. Pat Quinn (D. IL) doesn't understand the Laffer curve anyway. When questioned about it recently, he said "What's the Laffer curve?"
