You know, I've come to the conclusion that California and Ontario have a great number of similar problems. Both highly in debt (Ontario FAR worse than Cali with a far weaker economy). Some in our governments have tried to push for university grads to be forced to stay in Ontario rather than leave for opportunities elsewhere (sort of like living in East Berlin and being unable to jump the wall).
Now Cali is trying to punish people for making money and leaving? I can't see how a state law could even be enforced if they don't re-enter the state. If they leave for good, how can you punish them in future years?
