OHSU's executives keep pointing the finger at external reasons (the Tort Cap and the economy) as to why there will be layoffs.  In an email from the company president he specifically said that it is NOT due to mismanagement.  Well, if that's truly the case why are no other Portland area hospitals laying anyone off? 

Also, OHSU has had budget cuts at least 2 years in a row now.  If the hospital had to cut it's budget last year when there was no "external" economic crisis why did the execs getting bonuses?  Ask Newman to answer the question without blaming State subsidies to OHSU.  Why is a company that large not more self sufficient?
