More Sacramento silliness

These are the days that bring a spring to the step of the Nevada Development Authority's out-of-state business recruiters. Already armed with clever campaigns that emphasize Nevada's lack of inventory, corporate income and personal income taxes, these salesmen get all-new material for their pitch at the end of every summer, delivered in a gift basket with a bright bow, courtesy of the California Legislature.

Each year, the anti-industry Democrats who control both houses in Sacramento set new standards for hostility toward personal freedom, business and economic growth. This week, lawmakers wrapped up another regular session with more assaults on commerce, taxpayers and individual choice.

California businesses fed up with costly regulation already represent low-hanging fruit for the folks at the Nevada Development Authority, who've plucked plenty of companies from our neighbor to the west. But these legislators seemingly have redoubled their efforts to chase away industry and play nanny to their constituents.

--and , of course, it means we in Nevada will continue to be "blessed" with Commiefornia transplants who will take about a day to start saying some variation on "the way we did it in California was-----",---

So sad but oh so true.

the way we did it in California

Don't you hate that? I got tired of hearing it about 30 years ago. Then I got rude...

hence the term “californicate”

A Nevada Ditto. They can’t change their gov. over there so they try and change our gov. over here. Leave your baggage behind immigrants!
