But please don’t bring your stupid liberal policies from those states with you. We are almost blue state as it is. Thank goodness for the panhandle.

Located just south of Portland. The article says they don’t know how many will move so I suspect that the numbers won’t be very big. Maybe on the bright side this is a conservative owned company that has just had enough. Based on the salaries mentioned, most there would be looking at a gross pay cut but if they are liberals can’t grasp the concept of no state income tax and the COL is far below that of Portland that might end up being a net increase.

Democrats in Oregon are working hard to kill the state. Some Republicans are helping them.

Lake Oswego is much less liberal than the rest of Portland.
Portland is probably driving them out

I’ve turned down conversations with several “head hunters” after learning the position they’re looking to fill is based in CA. No way!
