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.
