errr, do we really need to tell people this? I don't have issues with people moving here on their own accord, but to be screaming it from the mountain tops? Seems a bit much, considering our population is already swelling.
Maybe he should lend them his UFO so they can come faster.

I just think for the person who supposedly runs this state telling people to "Move here!" is like way beyond. People are already moving here just fine.
Plenty of international groups keep the economy humming too. We'd find others to replace obnoxious new Yorkers

Agree with others that this state doesn't need his advertisement considering we just eclipsed N.Y. in population last year

The Carolinas have already overtaken FL as the nations #1 retirement destination. I say we continue to support that trend and Gov. Scott offers to ship our existing stock of old, closed-minded farts to NC/SC for a nominal fee; way less than they'd get in tax revenue. We then reclaim the rural gated communities in which they lived and can become a progressive state, freed from the burden of ignorant, old-world voters.

Better yet, why don't you ship all of the uninsured drivers up there ? And ship all of the sexual predators to Siberia ?

I'm picking up what you're putting down. Let's form an action committee on this.

I don't like this idea. NC gets the progressive transplants now and we need all the help we can get with our current politicians. Besides, the old farts in Florida are too cheap to pay state income tax.

Too bad! Retirees have "seen the light" and are now crossing your borders in greater numbers than ours.
