A business group in Arizona is flying CEOs to the state to take jobs away from California
ABC News reports that Phoenix, Arizona is jumping into the fray, trying to bring California businesses to their city.
On election night, Governor Jerry Brown celebrated the passage of Proposition 30. 54 percent of voters decided to raise income taxes on the state's top earners and agreed also to a hike in sales taxes.
"We think the recent tax package that was passed that really targets what we call high performers or producers from an economic perspective will really start to dislodge the serial CEO and Management talent from the Silicon Valley," said Barry Broome, chairman and CEO of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC).
In a bid to turn that into an opportunity, the GPEC launched a new program this week aimed at luring California companies away.
"We think this is gonna happen," Broome said. "We know Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, South Carolina are gonna be in the market talking to California businesses so we want to make sure we get present an opportunity for Greater Phoenix."
Under the California 50 Program, the Phoenix group hopes to fly in 50 CEO's. They're interested in luring leaders of companies with 200 employees or more to introduce them to Arizona's lower tax structure.
Some California companies like Yelp have recently expanded into places like Scottsdale, a suburb of Phoenix.

Another story you might look into is how so many far left liberal Californians have taken over Western Wa. State where Lumberjacks, Fisherman and Apple Farmers once went to work with pride...yet now are hardly given any political representation. Career Politicians would rather pick up 30 questionably-legal immigrant votes than 1 Farmer vote. Or make Fishing so over regulated and over charged for permits that they simply close down or go to Alaska where they make more in 2months than WA. for 12.
The producers of society are everywhere out numbered about at the 30 to 1 ratio. It is like the one engine pulling a long train of cars that do nothing to move the mass forward.
