Idaho governor warns of growing ‘C.O.W.’ invasion from collapsing West Coast

Seattle Red:
Idaho Governor Brad Little is raising awareness about the state’s “C.O.W.” problem, writes Jason Mercier, Vice President of the Mountain States Policy Center. No, the state is not dealing with an influx of bovine creatures, but rather residents that have escaped the deep-blue enclaves of California, Oregon, and Washington (C.O.W.s) to make Idaho their new home.

Little addressed this growing trend at the Associated Taxpayers of Idaho conference.

“Our tax climate is a significant draw for people across the nation. In fact, Idaho’s real challenge today is the number of ‘C.O.W.s’ — newcomers from California, Oregon, and Washington. We joke about it, but it reflects something real — Idaho has become a victim of our own success,” said Little.

As Mercier noted, this trend isn’t showing any signs of reversing course given that Washington just passed its largest tax increase in state history earlier this year. more h/t illustr8r

  1. COWs, eh? I recommend that Idahoans consider dealing with them the same way cattle are dealt with everywhere else. Milk the females, castrate the males, saving a few of the feistiest for the rodeo.

    I’d draw the line at eating the steers, though. Maybe pet food?

  2. “Victims of our own success”.
    Sweet summer child. You have no idea of how much of a victim you are going to become.
    Enjoy your joking now, because in a few short years we will be referring to Idaho as yet another third world state.

  3. @General Malaise — There’s nothing wrong with moving from one state to another. What’s wrong is supporting policies and culture that have turned your state something so awful that you have to run away from what you’ve done, and then moving to another state and doing the same damned things again.

  4. For those newcomers furtively scrapping communist stickers off their cars, the state should have a new license plate.
    An Idaho plate, yes. But a special plate to show that they’re from any of the commie states.

    It would be the only plate they’re allowed. They would not be elgible for any other plate. The special plate would follow them even if they bought a new car. The Idaho DMV would tag any newcomer.

  5. ^^^^^ I hope so. As a conservative Californian, and there’s a lot of us, I just scratched I da Ho off my list.

    Fuck off.

    This was pure political posturing at Conservatives expense.

  6. There’s a lot of idiot commenting here. Let me help you out. Libtards are not fleeing their home states of California, Washington, or Oregon. Why? Because they’re pretty damned happy with the way things are turning out. Who’s fleeing? Conservatives. Conservative business owners. Job creators. Please try and use the huge lump of shit attached to your neck.
