   California ranks dead last once again in Chief Executive Magazine’s Best   
   & Worst States For Business 2025 – the 14th year in a row   
      
   The Bay Area is getting hit one more time with job losses. First it was   
   the announcement of the Benicia Valero refinery closure by April 2026.   
   Then came the announcement that Anheuser-Busch would be closing its   
   Budweiser plant in Fairfield, California, in early 2026, also resulting   
   in job losses and local revenue impacts.   
      
   And now, the Fairfield Jelly Belly plant will lay off 69 employees as   
   part of a planned consolidation of administrative services at its   
   out-of-state headquarters. Jelly Belly will be consolidating their   
   administrative offices out of California.   
      
   Jelly Belly said the 69 layoffs will not affect its manufacturing,   
   warehousing or Visit Center jobs, the East Bay Times reported.   
      
   California is losing more workers than it’s gaining, new report shows,   
   the Globe reported Nov. 26th. “Businesses are leaving because it is no   
   longer economically feasible for them to stay within California,” the   
   Hoover Institute says. “Businesses that remain in California are hiring   
   much less, and California now has the country’s second highest   
   unemployment rate,” according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Nov.   
   19, 2024.   
      
   Chevron, X/Twitter, Space X, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab,   
   and Toyota Motor North America, are just a few of the mega-businesses   
   leaving California because of the state’s leftist/Marxist politics and   
   regulatory environment.   
      
   After 77 Years in California, In-N-Out moved its headquarters to   
   Tennessee.   
      
   In October the Globe reported that GAF Energy, which sells solar panels   
   embedded in roof shingles, is leaving California for Georgetown, Texas.   
      
   Blue Diamond Growers is closing its Sacramento manufacturing plant,   
   resulting in approximately 600 job losses, is moving up its 2026   
   departure. The company will transfer manufacturing operations from the   
   53-acre Sacramento site to facilities in Turlock and Salida, California.   
      
   Leprino Foods, the world’s largest mozzarella cheese maker, is closing   
   its Central Valley dairy processing plant in Lemore, and moving to   
   Lubbock, Texas. The company supplies cheese to Domino’s, Pizza Hut and   
   Papa John’s. The closure will result in the loss of more than 300 jobs.   
      
   California has the highest taxes in the U.S., one of the worst   
   business-killing regulatory environments, highest gas and diesel prices   
   in the nation, high state and local taxes, highest minimum wage, and   
   more employer mandates than any state – all of which cost business   
   owners a huge amount of money.   
      
   The Globe even has a series called “Leaving California” where we   
   interviewed many individuals and business owners who moved out of   
      
   Pastures

   California ranks dead last once again in Chief Executive Magazine’s Best   
   & Worst States For Business 2025. Tennessee ranks #1 once again, and now   
   “The Volunteer State” is getting another of California’s oldest and one   
   California, In-N-Out moved to Tennessee.   
      
   Economist Dr. Art Laffer did an interview a few months ago on the Clay   
   Travis and Buck Sexton Show on why he lives in Nashville, having moved   
   state in the nation and earning income is a lot more fun with lower   
   taxes, lower regulations.”
