In the case of the Tram, OHSU's Kohler , Mayor Katz and others mistakenly and deceptively cast it as vital to OHSU's expansion and job creation.
That vitality and the forecast of biotech expansion and job creation is barely more than fabrication.

This we know.

Not only is OHSU far behind many locales in the national competition for biosciences dollars and jobs but a growing international biosciences sector is shifting much of the research overseas.

The remaining build for the sake of building panic at OHSU and the City will be hindering our local economy and revenue sources far more than helping.

The Tram and other boondoggles (Burnisde grid, and CC Hotel)MUST be reigned in.

Now more than ever Leadership is in high demand.
