It’s the job a the governor of an American state intentionally to make life inhospitable for some of the people so they leave? Who knew?
I lived most of my life in Illinois and saw some real doozies for governors, but none as loathsome on every level as this guy. Not even close.
If you look at results “per capita”, for a longer time period, I think one can argue IL has been worse than NY.
I would also observe though, that simple population loss is too simple a metric. Better would be to analyze WHO is leaving. For example, a state that had a net gain of 1% of it’s population in 10 years might appear to be more healthy than, say, IL. But, if that gain broke down to a gain of 2% low income residents minus 1% residents from the top 30th percentile of incomes, that state has a very serious economic problem developing.
