The California Reshuffle
LA Public Health is offering free COVID tests for pets, and the New York Times is encouraging masks to stop monkeypox. They just can’t let go.
Such nonstop nonsense has brought the California exodus to a breaking point. New IRS data shows we just lost 260,000 taxpayers to other states, forfeiting twice as much revenue as any prior year. This is not sustainable.
But the same report also revealed migration patterns within California. Just as people are leaving the Lockdown State of California for the Free States of Florida, Texas, and Idaho, they are also leaving California’s Lockdown Counties for its Free Counties.
Consider the Healthy Communities Counties. These are the counties that passed the Healthy Communities Resolution I wrote along with James Gallagher in November 2020. It was a statement of opposition to statewide mandates and an assertion of local control.
The Resolution was first passed by my home counties of El Dorado and Placer, followed by several North State counties, and eventually, 14 counties throughout California as far south as Orange. (See the Resolution and the list of counties)
According to the IRS data, almost every Healthy Communities County has gained population, while hyper-lockdowns counties like LA, SF, and Santa Clara hemorrhaged residents. This is truly the bellwether of change.
And the most powerful change we’re about to see is with school boards. Today I announced my first set of endorsements. With so many of pro-parent, pro-student candidates stepping up, we can set education in California on a whole new course.
