Short-sighted, knee-jerk policymaking on the part of Intel, The Standard and other large opponents to M97.  Although the "18 fold" increase in state tax they'll pay is a drop in the bucket anyway, it amounts to less than a .04% total tax increase on Net Income of $299 mil. (Year end 2015).  M97 would increase their TOTAL effective tax rate, including Federal, from 2.83% to  2.91%!  That's right.  Still less than 3%.  What effective tax rate do you pay, fellow Oregonians?
