What everyone here, but me 
, is overlooking is the bestest place evvuh: Kentucky!
I used to live in Kentucky. Nice State. Unfortunately they are one of the worst States when it comes to public pension funding. They group with Illinois and New Jersey. When that time bomb blows, expect huge cuts to road repair and much higher taxes. Just google "Kentucky Pension Crisis".
Tennessee is much better off. Well funded pensions and no State Income Tax. Don't know about the Trad scene there, but that's a great State (land of my birth).
On Fracking, total lie. We've fracked probably 100,000 wells since "the scare". I actually wrote an article on my blog pointing out that the libtards shot themselves in the foot. In every Frack article they ALWAYS include words (sand, water, and CHEMICALS) to scare people. We'll ignore the fact that the chemicals are the same thing as what you find in hair conditioner. Anyhow I asked and answered the simple question, "What is the sand for?". Answer: to hold the fractures open. Yes, the fractures are the width of a grain of sand. So stack 10 Empire State buildings on top of each other. The surface is at the top of that stack. Down at the bottom, run a 5" pipe. If you are lucky, extending 80 feet out from that pipe is a fractured zone with fractures the size of sand particles. The scare was complete BS.
Oh, and two weeks later a newspaper posted an article where they changed the scare cocktail: "GRAVEL, water, and chemicals". Yeah, try running gravel through a pump, it's hard enough pumping a sand slurry.
By the way, I find it hard to believe a newspaper reads my tiny blog. I'm guessing one of my readers read my article and pointed it out in a comments section somewhere. But it really did happen about 2 weeks after I wrote my article.
