That Forbes "best states for business" list has generated a lot of talk, here and elsewhere.
David Ammons reports on a governor's press conference - without the governor - that turned into a good news celebration. The headline the TNT put on Ammons's story drew some deserved criticism and a correction. The Olympian reports on the press conference and allows GOP chairman Luke Esser to provide some perspective.
Over at WashBlog, folks compare Esser's comments to an item I posted earlier, peculiarly finding an "Esser vs. AWB" theme that I simply don't see. Esser said a lot of folks were involved in helping create the strong economy. True enough. And that's the point the governor's press office made in asking the TNT to fix the headline.
I weighed in on business climate lists in my column this morning.
Continuing the theme, the National Association of Manufacturers Shop Floor blog compare the Forbes list with one produced by CNBC. Unsurprisingly, different results. And, they look at state legal climates.
