Brillant!

Think about it. It's not easy to run a profitable business here. I mean I make money don't take me wrong but I see other localities growing much faster. This means I could probally do what I do here and grow faster somewhere else.

I have seen more businesses fold up or move away than I care to see. Remember I have been in business over 23 years so I have seen a lot of people. NYS makes it almost not worth owning a business. Well unless your politically connected and know all the back doors and crap.

Just one example:

I could easy lower my electric cost just be by being anywhere else in the USA.

I have someone that does what we do here in florida. We bounce ideas back and forth because we both server local markets and really don't complete. His electric cost are about 40% lower than here. Ok he has larger spiders in his house than I have in my yard but I could live with that.

If you're looking to move south, Rez, how about Jamestown? We have much lower electric rates, normal sized spiders and rats, and no crocodiles! We do get a bit of snow now and again, though!

Jamestown?

SO what is your Kilowatt cost? My last electric bill was upwards of $700 or so.
