this state without taking a anti-depressant. If it is not the crazy politicians we have it is the climate - both politically and socially. It is sad that we have become almost a foreign country for anyone that lived here prior to the GOP takeover. We are business friendly but not people friendly. That is bringing in lots of employers and with them people into a right-to-work antiunion environment.

There is a reason we do not have a state income tax....but with it comes a price in terms of quality of life.

Not expecting agreement....just venting.
