DeVore on California's expunged offshore oil drilling vote

http://chuckdevore.com/ - California has been overspending while driving jobs out of state with high taxes and burdensome regulations. One non-tax revenue solution that creates jobs: tap the billions of barrels of oil off the California coast using modern, environmentally safe methods of drilling. Assemblyman Chuck DeVore, candidate for U.S. Senate against Barbara Boxer in 2010, authored a bill to do just that. It passed the State Senate, but it failed in the Assembly where majority Democrats expunged the vote so it no longer officially happened at all. DeVore was interviewed by Fox News' Stuart Varney on the issue.

Leaving aside the oil, it is indeed burdensome regulations and police harassment and ripoff (see seatbelt campaigns) that are driving jobs out of California. One consequence is that it creates an underground economy where people can escape taxes and regulations. They say that in Spain and Greece as much as 20% of the economy is now underground. I wonder how much it is in California.
