Here in Oregon, land of clean air, clean water and Tonya Harding, we had a beloved Governor named Tom McCall. His attitude was: Please come visit Oregon - for about two weeks, then leave. This philosophy is referred to here as "Tom McCallism" and is very popular. In fact, we had a local brewing company run commercials featuring the "Oregon Border Beer Patrol." It showed troopers stopping out-of-state beer trucks at the state line and asking them why they were bringing their beer here. They would then make the trucks turn around. The commercials ran about 10 years ago and were extremely popular.
BTW - the "out-of-state" beer was named "Shludwiller" - kind of a mix of Schlitz, Budweiser and Miller.
