A new website, Oregon Open for Business, was launched this week to help dismiss claims that Oregon’s recent voter-approved tax increases are driving corporations away from the state. The website tracks the numerous businesses, including Google, Facebook, Genentech, IBM and Subaru, that have moved to or expanded their presence in Oregon in the past year.
The Pennsylvania Budget and Policy Center and Keystone Research Center introduced a joint blog this week called Third and State. The new progressive blog will present “sharp and timely commentary” on Pennsylvania’s economy and help explain how the state budget and other policies impact the lives of Pennsylvanians.
