CEO Comments |
---|
“I am a one-woman business. The only things important to me are weather/climate and status of state income taxes. Florida nor Texas have state income taxes, and they have great weather.”
“The Carolinas, Florida, and Texas have become very business friendly, with excellent workforces, high quality of life, and moderate cost of living.” |
