predictably, the author fails to explain why Hynix chose Eugene, and why Hynix bailed Eugene. While the rest of the nation pulled out of the great recession, Oregon could not because we were internationally known as Tax Hell, USA. Business would not invest in Oregon.
 After a decade running high unemployment our liberal communities turned to Raganomics, investing millions of dollars in developing sister city relationships with Asia, and offered property tax relief to foreign corporations offshoring jobs to Oregon. Hynix then spent $1.2 BILLION to build this plant, and employ over 1K locals in good paying jobs. When tax relief was not renewed Hynix bailed Eugene, taking those jobs elsewhere.
 today liberals are hell bent on restoring Oregon to Tax Hell, USA as liberal government unions are bankrupting our State.
