New York, blue states rank 'least free,' as red states stand out in personal, economic freedoms survey

New York was ranked the least free state in the Union, followed closely by Hawaii and California, according to a new survey.

The latest version of the Cato Institute's "Freedom in the 50 States" also found that New Hampshire is the freest state, with Florida and Nevada as runners-up.

The survey, which has been done every two years since 2000, issued its overall freedom ratings based on a combination of personal and economic freedoms, comparing states along 230 different metrics ranging "from taxation to debt, eminent domain laws to occupational licensing, and drug policy to educational choice," according to its website.

DEAN CAIN: NYC BECOMING 'LAND OF THE FLEE' AS PEOPLE LEAVE IN SEARCH OF 'MORE FREEDOM'

Regarding their loser for the year, authors William Ruger and Jason Sorens wrote: "New York has been the least free state in the country for a long time. In fact, the Empire State has been the worst state for freedom in every year since our data set began in 2000."

"Economic freedom is the most significant weakness, but the state has not kept up with the rest of the country on personal freedom either. It belies the 'blue' state stereotype in that it is No. 50 on economic freedom and personal freedom," they added.

The authors likewise called out Hawaii for its policies, writing that the state "has long had one of the lowest levels of economic freedom in the country, but it has also slid behind on personal freedom."

"Thus, it isn't surprising that Hawaii is now the second least-free state in the Union. Even with its huge locational rents, Hawaii has experienced a net outflow of residents to the rest of the United States since at least the beginning of the past decade," they added.

California came in as third-least free, which the authors explained is "largely because of its long-standing poor performance on economic freedom."

By contrast, New Hampshire earned a place at the top of the list, where it has jostled with Florida over the years.

"New Hampshire grabs the top spot overall because it does well in both economic freedom (third) and personal freedom (second), something that is also true of Florida but is not the case for Tennessee," the authors said.

  Boebert draws backlash for family Christmas photo of kids posing with guns

  Rep. Lauren Boebert, the gun-toting Colorado Republican who is under threat of being removed from her committee assignments for Islamophobic comments targeted at fellow lawmakers, faced more backlash on Wednesday after sharing a family photo showing her four children posing with guns in front of a Christmas tree. "The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!" Boebert wrote on Twitter late Tuesday, in apparent solidarity with GOP Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, a fellow gun enthusiast, who faced criticism for posting a similar photo last week of his family proudly holding firearms in front of their Christmas tree. Both families appeared smiling while heavily armed ahead of the holiday season.

  Navy contests Hawaii's orders to suspend, drain fuel tanks

  The U.S. Navy is contesting orders from Hawaii to suspend use of fuel tanks and drain them at a complex above an aquifer that supplies nearly 20% of Honolulu's drinking water until certain conditions are met. The Navy has already said it was suspending use of the massive World War II-era fuel storage complex near Pearl Harbor following days of complaints that tap water smells like fuel and has sickened some people. The state also wants the Navy to treat contaminated drinking water and remove fuel from the massive 20 underground storage tanks at the complex called the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.

  Philippines' Supreme Court says parts of anti-terror law unconstitutional

  The Philippines' Supreme Court said on Thursday parts of a anti-terrorism law passed last year were unconstitutional, in a decision hailed by one of its opponents as a "partial victory". The controversial law, signed by Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte in July, 2020, has alarmed some lawyers and human rights activists who fear it could be used to suppress free speech and harass government opponents. Panfilo Lacson, a senator and principal author of the legislation, in a Tweet prior to the ruling said he would graciously respect the outcome.
