I live here. We actually have fairly decent consumer protections... at least against product misrepresenation.

For example, our state constitution prohibits products being sold in containers which misrepresent the amount of their contents (albeit, it still happens).

Conversely, we also founded the pay-day-loan industry, which is just disgraceful (about a dozen states have banned entirely). Only passed because Allan Jones ("father of payday loans") donated $30,000 to PACs in the mid-90s.

I'm currently looking for greener pastures, up-to-and-including expatriation. This state overall has politicians' heads so far up their own...
