I agree with that. It’s true.

What I expect to happen is that the not so little town just south of Charlotte will be filled with fresh mini-Charlotteans.

Not a plus.

Charlotte was ok up until the late 80s.

Yes, she left CT after her husband died. Particularly disturbing to have a former governor flee Danell’s hell.

My Mom flipped out when Weiker proposed the income tax as being more fair, and would keep the sales tax low. She correctly predicted the demise of the once great state. He came to my office to campaign when he was running for reelection as Senator, and seemed like a real slimy POS. I fled West a few years later, and never looked back.

If the income tax had been eliminated, certainly the economic situation there would be better, too bad so many of has were forced to vote with our feet....

This is what the link I provided says:

California grew by just over 300,000 people during the year ending July 1, 2017, which puts the state’s total population at 39.6 million.

The number of people in the nation’s largest state jumped to nearly 40 million with births outpacing deaths.

The state’s population growth spurt came from births outpacing deaths by 220,000. The state also got a bump from a net gain of 80,000 people from other states and countries.

Could be, I have no idea. But the fact remains, according the article, the state population increased by 300,000.

It’d be fine if they’d all leave behind their voting habits that got them into the mess to begin with. But they won’t.

“Illinoisans: Please don’t move to WI, OK? We love our Governor, our majority GOP legislature, and conservative state Supremes.”

Sorry, Bud. But that’s exactly why we are seriously considering crossing the Cheddar Curtain.

That and the Spotted Cow....
