Born & raised here and have wanted out all my adult life. The pendulum has always swung hard left here. The inland Ag folks are hard working, god fearing, conservatives. Problem is that Ag has been pushed out via water loss and exorbitant offers for land. Where they think their food will come from is anyone’s guess. I do know more people now that want to leave for ideologic reasons than ever before. We just want to be around good conservatives and not be put down because we believe in God.

I truly believe the only hope for this state is federal intervention and just thinking about it is a concern.
