I wonder how far behind Mass is... lord knows they have the same environment.

Northrop Grumman by 2011 will relocate its Los Angeles H.Q. to the Washington, DC metro area. It's the last major aerospace company to leave Southern California, the birthplace of the aerospace industry.

Yes. And Virginia welcomes them...

[ExTexasRedhead]

They’re just jumping out of the toilet bowl in preservation.

Before long, watch for members of the California legislature to write laws prohibiting companies from leaving... to be followed by similar measures in NY, NJ and others... Just a thought. We really could be approaching the end-times.

[Gen. Burkhalter]

The CA electorate bears some responsibility for this depressing state of affairs. It has elected year after a year a bunch of hardcore radical socialists to the state legislature which has essentially turned CA into another Greece.

Also CA’s lax attitude towards illegal immigration, refusal to drill for oil, depriving farmers of much needed water, expanding the state work force, and having among the nation’s highest state tax rates have compounded all of these problems. I know. I live here.

The state is driving out successfull businesses and entrepreneurs and ringing the dinner bell for more impoverished illegal aliens to sneak across the border creating a perfect disaster for total collapse and armageddon.

California Democrats are busy turning the state into Kentucky.

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.

It causes me much sadness to see what California’s politicians have done to my state.

[Fred Hayek]

More tech firms moving to Colorado Springs, CO. Very conservative area, and business friendly.

[EggsAckley]

Calif. State Auto Assoc. moves to Colorado Springs.

And as fast as the wealthy are fleeing California....

Illegals from Mexico and Arizona are flooding in.

[RC2]

I’m glad that companies are saying that they can’t find qualified people in California. I’ve seen this coming for years. This should open the eyes of people in education, but I doubt it. When you have as many illegals as California, that have no education what so ever, companies will loose.

[Obadiah]

Amazing. Simply amazing. California was called the Golden State for many reasons, such as how fruitful and prosperous it was. The farm country was rich in soil and productivity. The economy was the envy of the nation and the world. And now, now the liberals have brought this one great juggernaut to her knees. From San Fransisco to Sacramento the liberals and the Unions have raped the very life out of this state.

I am not from California, but like Gulliver, it is so sad to watch this giant fall and be lashed to the ground by liberalism. Further, as the bell weather of the nation, as California goes, so goes the US.

The warning have been there all along, from Detroit to New York we see what liberalism does, and now we are seeing it play out on a statewide basis.

[RockinRight]

AZ might be a good place to go...

“The government of California, trying its best to make California as prosperous as post-reconstruction Mississippi.”

Jobs, schmobs. California has got bigger fish to fry:

Calif. officials seek temporary ban on metal bats

Happy Meal toys could be banned in Santa Clara County

Proposals that would bar California high school students from buying Gatorade on campus...

[Mr. K]

A few years ago I would have said “Come To Buffalo, NY- Lowest cost housing and buinsess real estate AND wages in the country”

But now businesses are leaving NY in droves too

[Bitsy]

Thanks to tree hugging, leftist,green, environmentalists who do such things a close water supplies to accommodate a fish, California is dying. If there is one thing these people know is how to screw things up. Let them sit their with the illegals and enjoy the devastation.

[boycott]

Liberals and business (jobs) = oil and water.

[ontap]

What took them so long?

[ScottinVA]

They should move to the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. It’s a right-to-work state here, taxes are moderate to low by comparison, and companies can actually feel welcome here.
