Crazy idea - Have you ever asked employers why they don't want to bring businesses to Oregon? This seems an open-loop approach to keep building things, raaising taxes and spending money without any idea if it addresses real issues. I am serious, I have ideas, but they are just theories and your reasons may be better. You have to realize the perspective as a public employee is diff from that of the private sector.

I agree about education, but even if we get more money like the 20% revenue upside, Teddy K said it would go to benefits and not to reducing student-teacher ratios.
