Along the line of governor?s going on big poaching tours, our Business Pulse Survey this week asked: What's your take on Rick Perry?s visit to California?
Other states can?t keep their hands off California. First Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced an advertising blitz to lure businesses to his state, and then he went on a recruiting tour.
Other governors have been setting their sights on the state?s businesses, too. The latest was Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad, who says the business climate in California comes down to: ?If it doesn?t move, tax it.?
Along the line of governor?s going on big poaching tours, our Business Pulse Survey this week asked: What?s your take on Rick Perry?s visit to California?
Out of 450 votes cast, more than half said his timing is good. At 54 percent, they voted to say that California is driving folks -- people and businesses -- away.
Another 22 percent voted to say Perry is a buffoon, but the message is well taken -- California needs a wakeup call.
Some don?t care about the message. California is not the Lone Star State. Another 22 percent voted for ?Do we want to be Texas? Seriously.?
A final 2 percent voted for other, explain in comments.
The unscientific poll was conducted online by the Sacramento Business Journal between Feb. 13 and Feb. 20.

Comments posted at sacramentobusinessjournal.com about last week?s Business Pulse Survey, which asked: What?s your take on Rick Perry?s visit to California?
?This is missionary work and dangerous for California. Anytime you can get 200 companies to listen to your pitch, you run the risk of losing a percentage of them. With all the bad press about the worst environment to do business in, the last solution California needs is to continue to make it worse, guaranteeing that companies will leave. Raising taxes and adding hurdles is not the way to keep companies here.?
