The state spending budget was $50 billion in 2019 and increased to $81 billion as of 2025.Not funding essential functions is destructive. I was on record as calling the estate tax increase a mistake. It was far more likely to lead to a mass exodus of the modestly wealthy than the so called “millionaires tax”. And, more to my immediate point, I have read more times than I can count here that these taxes NEVER decrease. Well, that isn’t true, obviously.
Businessmen make business decisions. Taxes aren’t irrelevant but they rarely are anyone’s sole reason for relocating.
"Not funding essential functions."
You sure about that, boss? The state has been pissing away billions to the grifters for years.
