Is California a sinking ship?

California and regional agencies have heaped so many taxes, rules and regulations on state businesses that the whole enterprise is about to founder, a group of businessmen told local Republican State Assemblymembers at a forum in Anaheim today.
“California is dead. The ship is sinking and it’s going down,” said Bill Taormina, whose family founded Anaheim Disposal and who now is chief executive of Clean City, Inc.
He complained about legislators more concerned about raising campaign contributions than solving business problems.

In addition, he questioned why California imposes stricter standards on businesses in the state, which drives up their costs, then purchases goods and services from out-of-state suppliers because they are cheaper.

call in the feds….American taxpayers will clean up the mess…next up? Illinois
