California NFIB chief says state is showing small firms the door

As executive director of the National Federation of Independent Business here in California, I hear from small business owners on a regular basis about how impossible it is to survive in our state. Many wish that they could move their businesses to another state that is much more business-friendly and actually makes a concerted effort to keep them – and their business – there. Last month, I had the opportunity to attend a legislative hearing in Reno, Nevada about why businesses are leaving California. It once again reaffirmed why businesses are struggling here – and why they are leaving in record numbers.

One business owner who used to be located in Fresno recently moved to Nevada because he felt there were no compelling incentives to stay in California. One shocking reason he cited for leaving our state is that our in-state costs actually make it more expensive for him to ship goods from Fresno to Southern California than from Reno to Southern California!
