Governors have no power to create jobs, and this ad is designed to appeal to morons.
Uh?
Stay in the academic world...you obviously know nothing about business.
My brother in California in the exact same industry faces major hurdles in running
a successful business. Cali bureaucrats often hound him, we almost never see
one here in Texas....and when we do "they know their place" and realize who's
paying the bills....business is paying the bills...creating tax revenues for them so
they are usually friendly as opposed to adversarial.
State franchise taxes, state property taxes, state income taxes, state zoning, state regulations,
state enviro laws, state employment commissions, state right to work laws, even state schools
can have an impact on companies moving to a state...all of the above and more are part of a
complex puzzle that can make a state "business friendly" or "anti-business" and governors can
certainly have some impact on these kinds of issues that affect a state's business climate.
