Remember the bogus jobs-versus-environment blackmailing? Corporations in fighting regulation used threats of moving or closing their operations. Now many of those corporations have had to implement greenwashing public relations campaigns to regain public support.
Now it is jobs-versus-taxes blackmailing. The smart corporations are not opposing paying reasonable state taxes. I believe most Oregon citizens know who is crying wolf in this debate and that some, like I, resent it.
