Gov. Spencer Cox had a message for Californians looking to relocate to Utah: Stay in California.
"That's where our focus is," he said. "We're not working to attract more people. We're doing just fine that way."
"What I mean is, we've had a lot of people move from California into our state. Growth is our biggest issue right now. So we would love to see California cutting taxes and regulations. I think that would be good," Cox said. "We like to think the National Governors Association is a beacon of bipartisan reality, an organization that really strives to find common ground," Murphy said.
Immigration also came up during the meeting. Murphy said the group didn't reach any conclusions but noted Cox made the point that "we're all border states right now."Cox said they talked extensively about securing the border both regarding the flow of immigrants and fentanyl as well as what could be done to fix legal immigration.
