The reason his policies ultimately failed is that instead of promoting his state to attract higher paying industry and jobs to better the population, his policies ultimately did the opposite and scared companies away from opening in his state. Just this last year the city of Seattle where I live, passed laws that raises taxes on large firms in an effort to raise city income for social programs and as a result Amazon is moving their offices to a nearby suburb instead. The state has no income tax so I do see why they tried to do this as the only other option is to raise sales tax but regardless it simply scared away a major regional player out of the city and it will take other side jobs along like restaurants and even potentially lower home values in the city. Not a good thing overall.
