VIRGINIA tops Forbes’ list of best states for business. Virginia Virtucon opines:
My guess is, business likes to be left alone and the divided government we have right now makes sure that almost nothing except that for which there is broad consensus gets done.
The “Business Cost Ranking” score is troubling, but probably also represents an opportunity for regions of the state that are less “blessed” with cost-inflating boondoggles and local governments that try to micromanage development.
CNBC has been working their way through a similar list this week. I believe Utah (#2 on Forbes’ list, #3 on CNBC’s) was today, so perhaps Virginia will be up either tomorrow or Friday.
