As near as I can tell the legislature has never cared about our cost of living. And when they're not driving COL up they're passing anti-business laws and driving employers out of the state and taking jobs with them.

There's gotta be a reason why California is one of the most expensive places to live in the entire US. You don't need to look anywhere but Sacramento for the cause.

Cost of living is high on my list of reasons why I want to get the hell out of here.
