The company I used to work for was planning to transfer test and repair of a particular product from New England to CA. The testing required a calibration gas that was fairly benign but did require some monitoring equipment and permits. Licensing was trivial in New England but was a major hurdle in CA. As a result we didn’t move that operation but elected instead to shut down the whole CA operation and move it to Texas.
Being a proud New Mexican, I hate Texas, but I nearly moved my operation from NM to TX, since I do a lot of work there and have several yards there.
Our new governor seems to have made a climate change with the gubmint workers.
