Using this informations, I can imagine an extremely powerful TV ad for Meg Whitman to use against Jerry Brown.

At the end of the ad, Whitman should appear and say “California, are you OK with this? I’m not!”

Last one out, turn out the lights.

Or at least ask Gray Davis to do it. He's good at that.

The sooner all those grubby capitalist corporations are driven out of California, the sooner Californians will all be enjoying the utopia they’ve long deserved.

I read the headline of this article out loud. One of my co-workers responded with “Good! Maybe there’ll be less traffic.”

I work with fools.

InsulTech LLC, Santa Ana, moving to Evanston, Wyoming

And when they crossed the state line out of CA, they said, "SCREW YOU, KALIFORNIA!"

[Irish Eyes]

Wish some of these companies would move to AZ.

Jan Brewer ought to make a VERY aggressive tax-amnesty offer to companies that move out of CA to come to Arizona!

As in all disasters, man-made and natural, those who recognize what is happening and are willing to take immediate action tend to salvage the most with the minimum effort.

The curve of businesses leaving has been trending upwards as more of them realize that they have to move or become a welfare benefits dispensing station instead of business - much like GMC in the 1980s and again today.

I wonder how long it will be before the State of California declares it illegal to leave the state?

I moved out in 1976 when I joined the AF, and never moved back. Thank God I made that decision. I notice two of the companies leaving CA are heading here to Virginia.

I would like to thank the people and state of CA for creating the conditions possible for other, more business-friendly states to welcome these folks. We’ll treat these job creators the way they SHOULD be treated. I’m sorry for those left behind who’d like to leave the state but don’t have the resources to do so.

California, for 60 years you’ve had a GREAT run.. at one time you constituted the 7th largest economy in the world. But clearly and undoubtedly... it’s over.

Failed California.

Failed Detroit.

What have they shared in common over the last 40 or so years?

Did Gordon and Smith move out of state or close down.

Gordon and Smith were the surfboard maker when I was a kid. A couple of years ago, Cali enviro regs made surfboard making illegal.

let that sink in Surfboards, California, Illegal.

A guy I went to law school with worked for several years for a company that had major corporate clients across the country. Many of those clients had locations in California, so my friend's company had to have an office in California, to serve its clients. But the cost of doing business in California, especially in employing people there, was so high, that every employee serving California clients that did not absolutely, positively, have to be physically located in California, worked out of Las Vegas.

The extra cost, in telecommunications, and business trips to California, was considered trivial, compared to employing people there. The regional manager had the authority to create jobs in Las Vegas to serve California clients, but not to create them in California -- that had to be signed off on by the CEO.
