Irvine business relocation specialist Joseph Vranich has added another 12 companies to his growing list of companies that are moving part or all of their operations out of California.
I first noted the list when it had 100 companies. It’s now up to 129 names.
“It’s no mystery what causes companies to leave California: high taxes, undue regulation, workers’ comp costs, a legal environment stacked against businesses, and lengthy and costly construction permitting requirements,” Vranich says

I could almost agree with you. Too often I’ve seen “conservatives” from California ruing good places.
“as California goes, so goes the US”
Yeah, because then they all move here.
A person making 42,699 in California is living in a slum, uneducated and on food stamps. A person making 31,826 in Kentucky is living in a decent lower class neighborhood, is educated and works for a living.
I worked for a company that had a guy working remotely out of an office on Owensboro, Kentucky. He kept whining and bitching about his salary being “only $70K”. I told him point-blank that this possibly made him the wealthiest man in Owensboro, and since all the locals seemed to get by on a lot less he should just shut-up about it.
That has my all-time favorite Weird Al song on it

“Before long, watch for members of the California legislature to write laws prohibiting companies from leaving...”
Chances are they’ll make them pay an “exit fee” of some sort. They’ll say they’re harming the area by leaving, and they have to pay for that.
I think I’ve heard that kind of rhetoric out of Kucinich years ago regarding the local steel mills and auto plants.
“More tech firms moving to Colorado Springs, CO.”
The problem is these people bing themselves with them. Know what I mean? How do you think it got the way it is in CA now?
They won’t though, they’ll move to Colorado and take over the legislator there.
You don’t want California companies to relocate to the Tidewater area. California companies bring Californians with them. Best they centrally locate them in Colorado Springs and allow them to ruin that place only.
Just drive north on the Santa Ana Freeway. When you cross the LA County line, you're in the Third World!
Ain’t gonna happen.
Gov. Goodhair has spoken out against the (AZ) law.
Yep, the reap what they sow.
That’s the thing. They don’t want to pay high taxes but they still want to protect the tit-mouse and what not, don’t want you burning your leaves, want sex-ed in schools, sales taxes to beautify downtowns, etc.
And no, that's not the Nation of Georgia nor are they merging with Delta Burke.
Most of my neighbors are Californians who fled the state in recent years. One of them, a former contractor, said builders hire illegals to build homes who cannot read a word of English. The finished home may "look" beautiful, and ethical / quality builders cannot compete with "the finished product" supplied by those who keep illegals entrenched in formerly American jobs.
Fires, mudslides, earthquakes, illegal aliens, sanctuary cities, taxpayers on the hook for all of it = people and businesses leaving in droves.
LOL!
But does he personally live in a sanctuary city / illegal alien inundated area himself?
My brother lives in Boulder--the Berkeley of the Western Plains.
Kentuckians, I’m not trying to insult your state, because I’m sure you have many fine people there, but California is destroying it’s economic future. And that economic future is going to look a lot like the back hills of Kentucky.
No Problem, I moved to Kentucky to enjoy small town America again. Yep, the economy isn’t great but there is work available if you want it. Just don’t expect California wages. The cost of living here is fairly reasonable but with the qualifier of rising fuel prices being a real big negative on the agricultural community.
Still, all in all I do prefer it to States like Florida, California and most of the New England states.
And, Uh, what city was it that voted to charge Bush with war crimes? It wasn’t Durango but it was down there. Was it Crested Butte? There are parts of Colorado that are still the West but those parts are shrinking.
