Not at all a surprise. I loved Grove's comment when asked when Intel would
put another Fab in Cali.
"Right after it raises itself above the state of a Third World Nation."

The tax thieves often ignore "moving." Americans who leave the U.S. and take their assets with them are liable for U.S. taxes for a decade or so after leaving (over the $70K or so waiver at the low end). California taxpayer-units who move to Nevada or Florida find California attempting to tax their pensions. I know of a guy who founded a software company, sold out, and moved to Switzerland. California is still trying to tax him. If Hughes decamps from L.A., which is possible, for multiple reasons, expect the tax grabbers to keep after them. --Tim May -- Timothy C.

July 13, 2001 DC Cir. ---- Air Transp. Ass'n Of Canada v. Fed. Aviation Admin. 49 USC 45301 (Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996) ---- The FAA failed to provide any record justification for the proposition that costs for servicing over- flights are the same as costs for servicing non-overflights. It simply assumed it was so. ... Because the FAA has failed to articulate the basis for its conclusion that "the unit costs of providing [air traffic control] services to overflights within each environment is [sic] identi- cal to the unit costs of providing [air traffic control] services to all air traffic within each environment," we vacate the 2000 Rule and remand to the FAA for further proceedings consistent with this opinion. So ordered. http://pacer.cadc.uscourts.gov/common/opinions/200107/00-1334a.txt ~Aimee
