Yes, but stack that with the extra taxes, he figured he’s had enough.

California liberals, including Governor Brown, respond to such criticism by saying that their state’s quality of life remains unmatched.
1.Atleast one murder a day
2.A hit & run a day
3.countless B&E’s
4.Slowest freeways
5.Millions people who can’t speak english
6.

Everything good the state has to offer comes from God, whom Governor Brown's party does everything in their power to repudiate.

On the other hand, everything wrong with the state comes from Governor Brown's party (with an assist from the GOP).

Brown isn’t fit to polish Perry’s shoes.

I hopw this starts another wave out of Calif.

As it is now, the state legislature is drafting a law that fines businesses & people for leaving Calif!!!!

“Been there a couple of times & can vouch for the heat - and humidity in Houston - but don’t know if there are any more moderate areas.”

Face it, if you live east of the Rocky Mountains, you have, very similar weather conditions. Minneapolis can be as humid as New Orleans or Houston. We have friends who “relocated” to Austin, Tx for seven years but finally got fed up with the weather (and the people quite frankly too) and moved back to the Bay Area. Unfortunately, the “dream home” they left was no longer available since housing prices in Texas didn’t increase in value at the rate here. So then ended up in a tract home in Cupertino. But all that said, they were happy to be back where the weather suited them. There is no question that Texas has a superior business climate, but as for the climate climate, it sucks! Then again, if you like humidity and bugs, Texas is definitely for you!

RE: a law that fines businesses & people for leaving Calif!!!!

How do you implement this for PEOPLE?

Say, I live and work in California. I pay taxes there. I rent a property, at the expiration of my rent, I decide to accept a job in Texas. I move to Texas and live there from now on. I don’t tell the California Tax Office where I moved.

How is California going to fine me if I don’t intend to move back?

So you would be happier with a Governor that did more to keep business from moving to Texas?

What’s your problem that you can’t understand what I said 3 threads ago?

Yes. We don’t have an unemployment issue like other states. We’re doing just fine, thank you very much. You’re not from Texas, right? Then you wouldn’t understand. Read up thread to see I’m not the only one. Lots of us are sick and tired of outsiders moving in and pushing their liberal ideas on us. Enough already.

My problem would be this is the first thread we had this discussion. If you were talking to me on other threads, I wasn't there.
