California wins yet another “superlative” from the business community. The 100,000 member national Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council (SBE Council) again ranked California the worst state in their Small Business Policy Index.

We currently maintain a comfortable (though admittedly not insurmountable) lead over our fellow anti-business states.
