I just came across a study showing how well, or poorly, each of the 50 states is AS COMPARED TO CALIFORNIA, the underlying assumption is things are so bad in CA that by comparing your state to CA you can gauge how bad things are in your state. Incredible. You can click on the title above, or cut and paste: http://downloads.pewcenteronthestates.org/Beyond_California_Appendix.pdf
either way enjoy
