The headline of this column in the business section of The Oregonian is, "Oregon Falls Furthest in CEO Survey of Best States for Business." In fact, we have fallen all the way to #38. I particularly liked this quote:
"Oregon is highly rated for its living environment -- higher, in fact, than Texas which is rated number one in the overall rankings this year," said magazine editor-in-chief J.P. Donlon. "But faced with a budget shortfall, Oregon decided to hike taxes, raise fees and basically take the path that New Jersey usually took—before it elected its now current governor—when faced with deficits."
I thought this was also special:
"Donlon added that CEOs also say the state’s attitude to business increasingly is becoming more adversarial and likened to California, especially when it comes to matters involving environmental regulation."
Thank you Measures 66 and 67! Thank you Peoples Republic!
