sad to see industry leaving Ca.....
Toyota started building here to avoid the truck import taxes levied to avoid total collapse with the onslaught of VW trucks in the early 1960's. California didn't think them capable enough to even charge commercial fees until the mid 70's. It's disheartening to think of the manufacturing industries leaving California for greener grass, taking their tax money and wages with them. How else are we going to pay for public employees pensions?
