“California Remains One Of The Happiest Places To Live,” Governor Gavin Newsom Tells State’s Dissatisfied Residents
Tom Tapp Deputy Managing EditorOn Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom addressed the growing chorus of Californians who complain the state is headed in the wrong direction and say they’re ready to leave for good.“I’ve lived here half a century,” said the governor, “and heard this pretty much every decade.”“I’d just encourage folks who are leaving to consider that this state, just 6-7 months ago this state was dominating in so many sectors,” asserted Newsom. “And those core tenets of this state remain unchanged, despite some of the challenges that we face.”“In this last decade we have been enjoying economic prosperity the likes of which few states have seen,” he contended.
