Intel allegedly planning more Oregon layoffs — new report says retreating operation could become a liability to the state

I wish we would tax the armies of Vancouver shoppers that pour over the bridges every day. It’s fucking ridiculous that they use those bridges, shop tax free, and vote against funding new interstate infrastructure.

The Oregonian notes that the state is “heavily reliant on personal income taxes” to fund improved schools, public safety, and various other services available to state residents. Oregon actually modified the tax code to favor Intel’s business, to retain and attract increased investment. That seems to have paid off, until now.
