Regulatory Reform...Maybe Not Done Right. But Done.

I saw Whittle's video on this and even though I suspect ID is already a ways down the road to Californication, this is a huge setback for the forces of evil so maybe I should put ID back on my list of potential escape routes.

Curious why you'd think that?

Because Idaho is one of the states with the greatest influx of Californians.

Well, that article is 2 years old. And, yes, there is a high percentage of new residents from CA. But, they don't appear to be Obama-worshiping liberals.

From your link:

From a political standpoint, Idaho?s ?ex-Cals? are ?actually very similar to the natives here,? Moncrief said. They?re not changing the political landscape much. Like most Idahoans, they tend to be conservative. In some cases, they?re more conservative than Idahoans.

A 2013 article in High Country News, ?How right-wing emigrants conquered North Idaho,? noted how newcomers, mostly from Southern California, transformed North Idaho from politically moderate to strongly conservative.

That's reflected by the subject study of this article:

It's also not showing up in voter registrations. At least not in alarming numbers. And it sure as hell isn't reflected in the election outcomes. It appears that some, maybe even a majority of, Californians moving here are registering as Rs.

So other than Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore that's good news (I'd make fun of them for the whole "young dude, old chick thing ... but my wife is almost 9 years older than me so...). While Rapid City is still #1 on our list, I happen to think that Coeur d'Alene is one of the most beautiful places on God's green earth so we'll see what happens. My inability to find a good job here in CS is definitely lighting the fire under the relocation bug as well (you can't swing a dead cat without hitting and unemployed graphic designer in The Springs ... sheesh).

Why do we not have this in Colorado? We need it for gun laws.

Jeebus, they're trying so hard to undermine TABOR and you want to add yet another layer of logic and reason? You tryin' to kill these idiots?
