Yamaha Motors Corp. has been in Orange County, California for almost 50 years, but has announced that they are leaving the state for greener pastures in Georgia.
This is just the latest example of a big company leaving California on Governor Gavin Newsom’s watch. The state is also losing population for the first time in history under Newsom.
And this is the guy Democrats are going to run for president in 2028? The guy who somehow managed to destroy California?
From the California Globe:
Yamaha Leaving California for Business-Friendly, Crime-Free Kennesaw Georgia
Another large business is leaving California. Yamaha says Sayonara to Governor Gavin Newsom after 50 years in the once-Golden State…
This is going to hurt Gov. Newsom who has had a lot of success chasing out hundreds to thousands of California businesses or subsidiaries, which fled to business-friendly red states including Jelly Belly, Chevron, X/Twitter, Space X, Oracle, Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab, and Toyota Motor North America. After 77 Years in California, In-N-Out moved its headquarters to Tennessee. And Valero is closing its refinery. Marathon Petroleum is warning they could leave as well.
Georgia Governor Brian Kemp is happy to gain the jobs and tax revenue.
