Good to hear. I escaped almost 20 years ago.
As long as you are far away from L.A., the newspapers get better by the distance.
I don't know. I live with all the bitter racist clingers here in Phoenix, so you'd think there'd be a decent paper, but I wouldn't piss on the "Republic" building if it were on fire.
Now sales taxes are higher in Arizona than they are in CA! State government has turned left, hard.
Worse, I bought a house in Prescott Valley, thinking I would escape from high taxes - now I find this was a huge mistake.
I'm facing retirement, and the future in AZ looks little better than here in CA (Commie-Abyss.)
