As the governor and the meek opposition consider more budget cuts in a state at the top of all the bad lists and the bottom of all the good lists, here’s a new list to consider: The Milken Institute recently ranked states on a technology and science index. The index used a variety of measurements to evaluate states in “terms of their technology and science assets, and their ability to leverage those resources to achieve economic growth.” And where does Nevada rank? In its usual environs of the cellar: 45th place. But don’t fret: Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, West Virginia and Arkansas are all ranked lower. How comforting. I wonder why, with that great low tax system so many tout, we don’t rank higher. What could it be?
