Rhode Island lost 5,969 residents, or 0.6 percent of its population, from July 1, 2005, to July 1, 2006. The only state to lose more was Louisiana, which lost 220,000 residents, nearly 5 percent of its population. Louisiana was hit hard by Hurricane Katrina in August, 2005. Texas gained more residents, 579,275, than any other state. Read more on the U.S. Census Bureau's Web site. Posted by Jack Perry Commentsjoyce | December 22, 2006 12:28 PM link I wouldn't want the legislature to look at this and think that maybe the anti-business, anti-taxpayer attitude in this state had anything to do with it. I'd rather they bury their heads in the sand and believe that everything is fine. The important thing to remember is that this is a net loss. It doesn't break it down to tell you that TAXPAYERS left in droves while illegal aliens and welfare leeches MOVED HERE so it's going to get far worse for those of us in the middle. Time to start scouting new housing in the neighboring states...
