Farewell To California
Andrew Malcolm has had enough.
We’re thinking of getting out, too. I’ve loved this state since I first visited it on a family vacation over half a century ago, but the inmates are running the asylum in Sacramento.

Over one in three San Franciscans are thinking of leaving.

It will be very interesting to hear what it comes up with.
Altamont

S. E. Cupp
