While a short list: OR, WA, NM,MN and PA ; there are some Blue states that seem unlikely to lose their tax base rapidly nor do they have severe unfunded liabilities. So what are they doing right that other Blue states don't?

More like the past 50 years and state legislatures too.
Business-unfriendly Minnesota has been hemorrhaging business to Iowa and South Dakota for years now....Every decade or so they have to come up with various tax bribes to keep 3M in St. Paul....They are being inexorably pushed to the margins of your "successful" list.While a short list: OR, WA, NM,MN and PA ; there are some Blue states that seem unlikely to lose their tax base rapidly nor do they have severe unfunded liabilities.

True. That is the case with all blue states to some extent. For example Gillum is under active state criminal investigation here in FL, an FBI investigation, he's to the left of Pol Pot and what will get him defeated is all the taxes he has proposed in his platform. While FDLE and/or the FBI might arrest him before the election, that is highly doubtful. Going blue when it comes to taxes is suicidal in FL.Business-unfriendly Minnesota has been hemorrhaging business to Iowa and South Dakota for years now....Every decade or so they have to come up with various tax bribes to keep 3M in St. Paul....They are being inexorably pushed to the margins of your "successful" list.While a short list: OR, WA, NM,MN and PA ; there are some Blue states that seem unlikely to lose their tax base rapidly nor do they have severe unfunded liabilities.

Taxation itself is meddling in the free marketplace...The situation with 3M itself puts the lie to the "corporate capture" trope that economic ignoramus progressives live by...Fact remains that, given the choice, businesses (which are run by individuals) prefer to operate in places where this legalized looting is at its lowest possible rate.Business-unfriendly Minnesota has been hemorrhaging business to Iowa and South Dakota for years now....Every decade or so they have to come up with various tax bribes to keep 3M in St. Paul....They are being inexorably pushed to the margins of your "successful" list.While a short list: OR, WA, NM,MN and PA ; there are some Blue states that seem unlikely to lose their tax base rapidly nor do they have severe unfunded liabilities.

Got it. Tax bribes to businesses are evil big government picking the winners in life instead of letting capitalism run its course?
I agree with this is that what you believe?
Very true....Yet foolhardy subsidization of sports teams owned by bazillionaires isn't what's driving people and business out of any states.While I agree with Oddball It's not just D idiocy. Entertainment venues, especially stadiums get subsidized out the wazoo everywhere while not producing net revenues.
Don’t include PA in the successful category, they tax out the ass on property, and do jack shit with it, but yet always are in a constant state of “road work” where they take 5 years to instal gaurdrails on 2 lane highways littered with pot holes, that they should be expanding into 4 lane highways at the very least. We might be the only state in the union with a highway going into the 4th largest city in the us, that is a 2 lane highway. Its absolute nonsense, they’ve been doing “bridgework” on a major bridge in my town for over a decade, whenever it was that the one bridge collapsed in Missouri, yea, they’re still working on that 2 lane bridge. I fucking hate this state.While a short list: OR, WA, NM,MN and PA ; there are some Blue states that seem unlikely to lose their tax base rapidly nor do they have severe unfunded liabilities.
