I spent 5 years in Illinois and I suspect she is right. I tried to 
help my daughter with her IL state income tax and I KNOW Gloria is right!

IMO it was all those folks from back east who moved to SoCal & 
brought the 'east' with them. Knew it was bad before I left, but 
after I was gone for awhile & I could 'see' it from a distance that I 
really knew the CA I grew up with was gone.

History is a long line of people migrating from one place to another 
and usually displacing someone when they do that. The displacement 
this time was peaceful.

I will admit that if I had not ended up in the CG and moved all over 
the place that I probably would have stayed in CA, followed my 'plan' 
and moved up to Humbolt county, southern Oregon or somewhere not too 
far north of Sonoma county. Well, not as far north as I did move <g>.
