Republican legal officials blasted California Attorney General Rob Bonta Tuesday, following his decision to add their states to the growing list of banned state-sponsored travel locations. Bonta, a Democrat, announced on Monday that five states had been added to the list of 17 states where California-employee travel is forbidden due to laws targeting transgender athletes. The list now includes Florida, Arkansas, Montana, North Dakota, and West Virginia. “States should not penalize other states because of policy differences,” West Virginia Attorney General Morrisey said in a statement. “The economic coercion demonstrated by California is an affront to the dignity of other co-sovereign states and amounts to legislating across state borders in an effort to force the radical world view of large states onto those living elsewhere,” Morrisey added.
