However, it doesn't suprise me Knight doesn't want to pay the Mult/Portland tax, look at how Nike drug Beaverton to hell and back over their proposed annexation and an increase in what, $15,000 in property taxes?

Though I get irritated at corporations not wanting to pay a few thousand dollars extra tax, unfortunately thats their fidiciary duty, leave no penny behind. In Oregon at least, its up to the employees and the personal income taxes to support the things that make a society function.
that being said (I know its probably too late) but Portland should maybe waive every tax to get Laika into Portland to provide that critical mass of talent. Creative firms/freelancers would be sprouting like mushrooms after an Oregon rain all over the central east side, occupying refurbished buildings by Beam and designed by Works.
I can almost imagine a Laika anchored bridgehead with a huge neon animated sign, across from the made in oregon sign.
