Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox (Source: Twitter)
The Governor of Utah has a message for Californians seeking to migrate into his state: you're not welcome.
Gov. Spencer Cox (R-Utah) said he fears the flow of people out of California – a trend that's been seen since the early 1990s, with people moving mainly into Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Arizona and Nevada – could hit Utah hard.
And it's an influx Cox wants to nip in the bud.
In an interview with C-SPAN during the recent National Governors Association conference, Cox told residents of the Golden State, "The last census confirmed that Utah was the fastest-growing state over the past 10 years.
"Our biggest problems are more growth-related. We would love for people to stay in California instead of coming as refugees to Utah."
