The article on Florida approaching New York in population suggests that it's mostly about people moving to warmer climates ["State's population shows modest gain," News, Dec. 31].
Perhaps the New Yorkers who fled took the outrageously high taxes and the crippling regulations into account as well. 
Memo to those who repeatedly vote for the same politicians: Keep it up, and we will be dead last.
