Both houses of the California legislature have passed a bill called SB-32 which would tell the California Air Resources Board "to ensure that statewide greenhouse gas emissions are reduced to 40% below the 1990 level by 2030." The state's Democratic governor has issued a statement indicating that he intends to sign it into law.
The Western States Petroleum Association and the California Manufacturers & Technology Association expressed their opposition to the bill.

The flight from CA is ongoing. Businesses and people alike move out as soon as they can.
That's a pretty odd statement to make about the 17th fastest growing state in the union. [wikipedia.org]

Purely personal observations... I cannot tell who comes in, but I know for a fact that many leave. I'm not leaving yet because I can afford burning a lot of cash on convenience and pleasant weather. But I have minimal expenses otherwise. YMMV. One of my coworkers is buying a house in Gilroy this very moment; he will be spending more than 1 hour in a gridlock on Hwy 101 to and from work.
