"In Idaho, the company's energy costs could fall 60 percent, workers' compensation costs 40 percent, and wages and benefits 20 percent, compared with here. ....annual savings would be in the millions of dollars"

Yes, there are limits to what a state can extract from a business before it will leave and energy costs are included within the equation of moving.

The only left to do that he hasn't done is advertise for illegal aliens to take over the new Idaho jobs and lower wage costs even below the stated 20% drop.

Excellent article! Thanks for posting it and the ping!

Mr Buck singled out your state Washington and of course the state between you and I, Oregone into Enviral Depression, as states not to move to.

What he did not mention is the anti business attitude, behavior and actions 24/7 of the Watermelon Jihadists who basically control the energy policies of these 3 states. These Watermelon Jihadists hate capitalism and work 24/7 to harm and destroy capitalism.

Idaho and Nevada could really become the hot states to move a business to in this decade. As California, Oregone and Washington become economically depressed enviral third world states.

I'm sad to see this in some ways, but it's also vindication of the predictions many of us have been making.

California Democrats have been working overtime to make the state hostile to businesses, and this is what naturally results.

Of course, we're hearing from them that this is all George Bush's fault.

Yes, there are limits to what a state can extract from a business before it will leave and energy costs are included within the equation of moving.

And from individuals as well. Thirty five years ago before these moves became common; I had a fishing mold maker who moved his busines to Idaho.

When I finally got a hold of him, I asked him what he was doing there. He said he sold his house and for half the price got a better one in Idaho, and since he liked to hunt and fish this was heaven to him.

Also since his customers do not come in the door but use the telephone and mail to tell him what they want made, he can do that from anywhere in the country so he chose a place he could operate out of economically and enjoy the outdoors.

I have been in every state in the lower 48 and I liked Idaho. My Problem is I love being on the ocean and am happy where I am. - Tom
