I started in MA
I left to go to sea...traveled and lived all over the World and ended up in Fairfax. In the early 90's I became a member of the City of Fairfax Republicans and I saw a trend...liberals moving South for jobs and lower local taxes.
For awhile a major Company a month moved their HQ to Northern Virgina, - Mobil Oil, General Dynamics. I cried out loud, "DON'T LET VIRGINIA BECOME THE NEXT MASSACHUSETTS!"
Tax and spend liberals ran for office. I heard voters say, "they're only going to raise taxes a little, and that's OK. Taxes were a LOT higher where I came from!" My call went unheard.
Virginia IS NOT Massachusetts yet!! Our potholes don't out-number the voters!
