“til about 10 - 15 years ago we were a deeply conservative state. “
I’d say the 1990’s influx of Kalis did us in. We were always a purple State with a “leave me the hell alone” attitude. We swapped dem and pubbie governors every other time or so.
In the 1990’s, the Kalis brought in large sums of money and jacked up our real estate prices. They also brought their liberalism with them. Remember, they moved into Evergeen and Genesee then tried to control “growth” to keep others out.
Yup
