Higher level political misinformation: Meg Whitman cites Northrop Grumman's move from California to Washington, DC, as an example of an anti-tax, over-regulation corporate exodus out of the Golden State, but she fails to mention that the defense contractor is only moving its headquarters there to be nearer the Pentagon, amounting to only 300 lost jobs -- virtually all of them white-collar executives -- while more than 30,000 Northrup manufacturing jobs will remain right here in California where they belong.
