Title: California Worst State for Business Post by: guido911 on May 03, 2012, 04:30:35 pm According to business executives (but what do they know)...
Quote So much for the idea of West is best. In an annual survey, executives ranked California as the worst place to do business for the eighth year in a row. Chief Executive magazine has only been conducting its survey for eight years. Texas has been top-ranked every year. The survey considered responses from 650 business leaders, who graded states on factors such as taxes, regulations, living environment and more. Texas and second-ranked Florida have the highest migration rates in the nation for 2001 through 2009. California has lost 1.5 million people over the same period. Also in the top 10: North Carolina, Tennessee, Indiana, Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia and Utah (AND BIXBY, OKLAHOMA). http://www.latimes.com/business/money/la-fi-mo-california-worst-state-20120502,0,461178.story Title: Re: California Worst State for Business Post by: cannon_fodder on May 05, 2012, 06:35:13 pm But withl an educated population, an understanding of how to foster entrepreneurs, and some built in businesses they're booms really roll. However, California, Portland, Seattle, and to plenty of other areas have been pulling in business by being where people want to live. All too often "business friendly" is becoming a euphemism for "corporations before citizens." It doesn't have to be that way.

Shall we point them to the NCAA and California's many colleges with football programs?http://www.mercurynews.com/my-town/ci_26541167/castro-valley-winery-fined-115-000-using-volunteers Title: Re: California Worst State for Business Post by: guido911 on October 02, 2014, 12:31:45 pm Shall we point them to the NCAA and California's many colleges with football programs? If California could find a way to tax those football "volunteers" they would. State's gotta get their cut.

Did anyone hear the lastest thing for California? A total ban of all plastic bags at stores. High taxes & regulations drive out companies. I guess the ban won't take full effect till 2017.

Kalifornia is not the first state to ban plastic grocery bags nitwit. It was started by county option in Oregon over two years ago. |
