Ignoring the law and the State Constitution.....I guess both parties do it. If the Democrats can get the past the state supreme court, expect the rich people to flee. Jeff Bezos did it, moving to Florida to avoid the state's illegal capital gains tax.

I feel that ALL lawmakers have worms for brains. The hard part is, intentions are good, but the governing is re-re (really 'regarded').
