When the last non-public employee leaves, what will they do; just sit around passing a dollar bill back and forth.

Didn't the governor of NY actually say something along the lines of "good riddance to Rush Limbaugh" when he move to FL? I guess they're glad to see his tax revenues go too.

“One thing for sure, they won’t be going to Kalifornia.”

Nor to Maryland. High taxes of every type, soaring crime, major road congestion and hopelessly Democratic.

I just can’t get past the feeling that liberals are creating these 3rd world hellholes to force emigration in order to spread their poison to the rest of the country.

“Outmigration” is not a word. The word he needs is emigration which means to migrate or move away from. Journalists these days.

The down side of all the NY libtards leaving is they spread their liberal poison to the states they pick. Frankly, I wish they would stay put and stew in their leftist juices.

I’ve heard that Vermont became very liberal years ago, due to so many New Yorkers moving there and overwhelming the politics of the state.

Howard Dean was one such transplant to Vermont.

So how does that explain VT’s gun laws?

"Didn't the governor of NY actually say something along the lines of "good riddance to Rush Limbaugh" when he move to FL? I guess they're glad to see his tax revenues go too."

Don't worry, they found a way to fill Rush's "outmigration". They're attacking landlords with violations with is connected with a lot of bureaucracy. Every single dept is going to profit from that one violation and thus keep the lazy gov people paid.

When you walk down the streets of NYC and see a shed, or scaffolding in front of a building, it's not because the landlord placed it there or decided to renew their facade. Most of them are still paying for the winter's fuel bill, so why spend money on having a building painted or resurfaced? It's a useless violation. Meanwhile the workers hired to do the facade will take as much time as possible to do their job. Those sheds cost an arm & a leg monthly. Insurance goes up. Bank loans applied for. Lawyers need to be hired, architects, engineers, electricians... the list goes on.

Yeah, NYC is bankrupting the landlords just so the lowly workers have a job. The landlords are forced to create the o'bama promised shovel ready jobs.

Yeah, great idea NYC to get rid of the wealthy.

“I just wish they would stop voting for Democrats after they leave.”

We ‘upstaters’ are loving it!

Many thanks for taking our weak-minded libs under your wing. Give ‘em hell y’all.

I "Escaped from NY" in 1983 but returned to finish college only to escape for good in 1990 never to return (other than funerals and visiting nieces and nephews)


Lets see how many ex-NY-ers this thread can generate LOL!!!

Not sophisticated enough. You sound like a dummy when you say emigrate, but outmigration an idiot can understand. ;-]

being a native NY stater, I feel bad for what my beloved state has become....its an beatutiful state...the Finger Lakes...the Catskills....the Adirondacks and the Alleghenny area....not huge mountains like the Rockies, but beautiful with lots of lakes, rivers, lots and lots of forests and many farmlands....

a wonderful mix...or used to be...of immigrants....

large university system and many private colleges to match up with anyone...

home of IBM.....

and yet they just couldn't stop themselves from ruining it....my sister is part of the problem...retired for several years from teaching....they can't afford any more of her...

similar in many ways to California...another gorgeous state being ruined...
