There's a new ranking that looks at how well states are run, or in some cases not so well run. According to its web site, "24/7 Wall St. has completed one of the most comprehensive studies of state financial management ever performed by the mainstream media. It is based on evaluation principles used in the award-winning Best Run States In America ratings published by the Financial World Magazine during the 1990s. These studies were used by state governments to evaluate the efficiency of their own operations. The new 24/7 Wall St. study is meant to help businesses and individuals examine state operation with an unbiased eye."
Take a look and see how your state does. Spoiler alert: Wyoming is the best and Kentucky is the worst.
