CEO Comments |

“New York is moving in the right direction. I would expect them to move up in coming years. Texas, North and South Carolina are in a class by themselves.”
“The tax and regulation climate in Illinois has become stifling. Add to that the additional taxes of being in the city of Chicago, and it makes it difficult to stay here. California is a basket case, and we do all we can to avoid being there. The tort bar in South Carolina is very difficult, and nuisance lawsuits are out of control in that state.” |
