CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) Firearms manufacturer Weatherby Inc. is relocating its manufacturing operations and corporate headquarters from California to Wyoming, marking another catch by Wyoming of a company abandoning a state that isnt as gun friendly.
Weatherbys move to Sheridan is expected to create 70 to 90 jobs and more than $5 million in annual payroll over the next five years.

A smart business decision! California isn’t the wild west any more. It’s determined to become Northern Mexico, or probably N.Venezuela, because they like socialism so much.

So that is $1 million per year payroll or $11,111.11 per employee per year for 90 employees.I think you misread it. It's $5 million in annual payroll over 5 years. That's $25 million over the five years.

Why do they even do that? Is Weatherby planning on closing their doors in 5 years? Or could they just as easily say, $5 million in annual payroll over the next 10 years? Or 20 years?

I wonder if they will try to arrest them for leaving the state with money in their pockets that belongs to the rouge nation state.

I’m sure it’s just another example of what passes for journalism these days. $5M would be the annual payroll, where the 5 years came from, who knows?
