What should the role be of (local) public money in private investments?
Good question, does anyone know if they're using public funds as a loan instrument or are they taking equity in these companies?

One thing Portland really doesn't have compared to the other West Coast cities is a good university. (Sorry Portland State, it's true). I don't see that being fixed anytime soon, so that's always going to cause a problem for recruiting new grads.
I have to disagree here both Oregon and Oregon State are underrated universities. I'm a bit biased towards Oregon State as I graduated from there but their Engineering and Science colleges do a fantastic job.
Neither is actually in (or especially close to) Portland, though, right?
