Comcast (my ISP) is now running the results of a survey by 24/7 Wall St., as regarding America's best-run states and its worst-run states. The criteria include "financial data, as well as the services they provide and their residents' standard of living."
Here are those results:
The Best-Run States:
#5: Utah
#4: Nebraska
#3: Iowa
#2: Wyoming
#1: North Dakota
The Worst-Run States:
#5: Nevada
#4: Rhode Island
#3: Illinois
#2: New Mexico
#1: California
Although it is not quite a perfect match, it would appear that those states that go red, in presidential elections, are among the best-run States; whereas those that go blue (or are trending blue) are among the worst-run States.
Interesting...
