Are you telling me that Prop 65 is not alienating business and at the same time scaring consumers?
I'm working on a small business now, and if I get to pick between the two states, I'm picking Nevada. Between the tax savings and the savings in labor costs, benefits etc. it's much better.

I remember when I was in California there was Prop. 65 scam being done by some dishonest attorneys. I don't remember all the details, but it was based on the assumption that most businesses could not possibly be in compliance, they would send thousands of randomly generated letters to business owners threatening a lawsuit (because anyone could file a lawsuit), or to settle out of court.

CA Prop 65
Even a landlord, a person who rents apartments or homes is subject to posting Prop 65 notices or could be in violation of the law. Of the list of "chemicals" on the list, you could not find many, if any, commercial activities not subject to Prop 65. Even to this day, I would bet the vast majority do not even know they have an obligation or are at risk of a lawsuit.

Work comp. fraud, and the rules in the state that are unfairly favorable to those who want to exploit the system. And let's not forget the lawyers. They take about 1/3 of a settlement, even in cases were they add no value. there are also rings of lawyers, clinics, doctors, vocational rehab programs, etc, that scam, not only insurance companies, but every honest person in the state pays a cost for it.
