"Oregon’s corporate taxes are still the 49th lowest in the nation" - Is this what you meant? Wouldn't that be second highest?

Just corrected it. Thanks for the comment.

The stream worked well, I managed to watch while stuck at my desk in my home office.

NICE! We got 75 viewers watching a combined 800 minutes on there. Basically doubled the audience.

Wow, I couldn't go but it sounds like I missed...what did I miss exactly? NOTHING.

SAME OLD SAME OLD

"War drained federal funding for public programs,"

I'd love to see the numbers that back up that crock of $#!+ lie.
Less education of workers is why there are fewer jobs? And we don't spend enough on education?
We spend virtually ALL the money on public education and it's a massive failure. Businesses have no incentive to make money and hire workers in this over taxed, over regulated, government teat sucking dependent nanny state run by such clueless clowns.
Depressing indeed for those who are not too scared of the truth.

I didn't get a chance to check out the stream. What about OHSU? The city dumped $125 million into the south waterfront, and the state chipped in another $200 million with the Oregon Opportunity. Did anybody mention them during the discussion?

Casino in Wood Village out!

Seriously...I've had to go to two separate casinos in Oregon and Washington in the last 6 months. Nothing is more sad and disgusting than the Emerald City Queen and Chinook Winds.

Wow, Matt is just a little peanut!

I agree that the collapse of the timber industry wasn't mentioned, either, nor that it's not coming back any time soon. The eternal dichotomy is that while you hear so much screaming about the damage being caused by logging, the pay was still enough to supply tax revenues to support services for all of the overly educated and willfully underemployed new residents in Portland. (As with Adams's usual yammerings about catering to the "creative class", he either doesn't know or doesn't care to know that said class is notoriously underpaid, mostly because many of its members are paid exactly what they're worth. Either way, you can't base an entire economy on hipsters selling bad paintings to each other.)

Please wait...
