Matt Mahan – the progressive Mayor of San Jose, the third-largest city in that state – responding to Gavin Newsom’s dissing of Bed Bath and Beyond for fleeing California:

“How does [Newsom] help a state that has seen one high-profile company after another leave in recent years? We have the highest energy and housing costs in the continental United States, and, largely because of these high costs, the highest effective poverty rate in the nation.”

Then, he added that he is tired of “watching our governor ‘succeed’ by making a ton of noise online, even sometimes at the expense of our state’s reputation.”
