What about eastern Oregon??? Does Oregon have an income tax?
Of course they do. But no sales tax.
And, like some other states - you can't pump your own gas. I freaked out a station attendant when I hopped out of my rig to pump 150 gal of gas!
7 States with no personal income tax are: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming.
2 States with dividend tax: New Hampshire and Tennessee has the Hall tax which is about to expire.
States with no corporate income or gross receipts tax are: South Dakota and Wyoming.
And, Nevada, Texas, and Washington impose gross receipts taxes instead of corporate income taxes.

Tennessee has no earned income tax, only the dividends / interest tax which, as you pointed out, is being phased out.
You CAN pump your own gas. I've lived in eastern Oregon for 3 years, and pump my own gas every time.
There was a change in the law a few years ago that allows pumping your own gas in rural areas that might not have enough staff to attend the pumps and the till at the same time. Get near the city, they'll yell at you for trying to pump your own. I'm not sure how one knows which is which.
When you talk economy, if California was a sovereign nation, it would be the 5th largest in the world. San Francisco individually would be 19th in the world.
The folks leaving for other western areas is astounding. Folks from California buying houses sight unseen. They call a real estate agent, they send a check for the house without looking at in person. I think of areas like Jackson Wyoming, Bozeman Montana, Red Lodge Montana. Talking places that I want to retire to.
While the influx of money to the area is nice. Which I think the governor is looking at. The mentality that the people bring in, is not something I care for.
Artillery, your last two paragraphs make perfect sense.
Californians are fleeing as the state is too expensive. Affordable housing is nil and taxes are high. The sad part is the Californians who depart the state move to conservative states and then attempt to create the California they left. My sister, who lives in Arizona, has said Arizona has changed and not for the better as the Californians are changing Arizona.
I hope South Dakota is sheltered from the Californians leaving for greener pastures and don't ruin it.
BTW I really wanted to move to South Dakota, as my husband is a native, but due to my health issues we will probably move to an area where I have access to university level health care. I was diagnosed with a couple rare diseases and should stick to an area that offers access to specialists.
We may be visiting the hills this summer. I look forward to being with family and being in South Dakota.
