I'm a Washington native and that's what happened to us. People ruin their own states want something better then turn where they go into where they left. Sort of like illegal immigrants.

Try living only 100 miles North of New York City, and watching the influx of urbanites change your Town...

Like all the people who fled CA to move to NV! Las Vegas was ruined by this. They went to Vegas to get away from high taxes and restrictive business laws, then demand everything CA has!

Not just Nevada, but Arizona and further states, too. I lived in western Montana one summer and it was full of California refugees who just drove up prices of real estate and taxes.

Guess I am going to be in a state that will soon to be losing its retirement "benefits."

Due to the oil industry decline, we lost half our Permanent Fund checks this year. We received $1,022 instead of the $2,044 we were supposed to. There are plans afoot to take it away all together. The Governor who did this will be gone at the end of his term...but once he has been duly blamed and punished, I don't see the state changing their ways about snarfing the entire fund for their personal use.

They are also proposing a state income tax to make up for additional funding. A local city councilman is proposing a 4% sales tax for the Municipality.

Pretty soon, all we will have is great scenery--and most can't live off of that.

Oil prices are being set up, to start rising again...

Sadly, once it is gone, you will never see it again, and one taxes start, you will never see them removed. Your state government is going to become flush with cash when oil prices go back up.

Rising oil prices are good for the Permanent Fund. I am still thinking that the Governors snarf and grab act was just the beginning though. A couple lawmakers took the issue to court, and guess what? The court said the Gov. was in his rights to do the act. End result, they got half our check this year.

If there is a source of funds a politician will get it and find something to spend it on. That's way all the swamps need drained.

Why not Az? Because we already got to many northerners that come down and then want to change things like it is back home.

Well..... just so you know, we got that same problem here in New York! But it the dam city people that move out here to the boonies, and the next thing you know they are at the town meetings wanting to bring in the same dam things they moved away from. So I get where your coming from. Last summer I was at a gas station, this guy getting gas says to me, Oh its so nice up here we are from Long Island is there any land for sale around here? My reply _ Nope we sold it all!

There's some real pretty riding; up around Sherburne!

yes there is. Sherburne, McDonough, Chenango County in general. But you know I've never been to Grahamsville. Maybe this summer we can correct that.

[tmcquain]

Shhhhh....Just keep this between you and me.....Tennessee is the perfect place....little snow....great climate.....NO state income taxes....where I live very low cost housing....low crime rate....and some of the most beautiful roads in the country to Spyder Ryde on !

But don't tell anyone else...OK ?
