Critics complain "TIA" would siphon tax dollars from county, fire districts; the reality is more complex than that, and this bold initiative deserves consideration, negotiation
Very even-handed analysis of the project. Trust needs to be built between the entities. Without it, the project, and the benefits and challenges it may bring, could be shelved and future efforts and interest in our county to reshape our economy will continue to be postponed. We sat on our hands for 30 years, waiting for the knight in shining armor to appear. Now, we are in catch-up mode and time is wasting. The Port of Woodland is being bold, while others throw rocks and stomp their feet. Opportunity knocks. Will we allow the door to open?
Best writeup of the port of woodlands TIF tax I've seen but a bit more heard a port commissioner is being sued by port staff so is he compromised? his actions at last port meeting seem to say YES---bit of back story in the ports dealings with the city of woodland during the last administration the port threatened to or did sue because the port didn't get its way
It’s sad that our decision makers don’t seem to have creative and critical thinking skills. They love life as it was in the 19th century. Andre, thank you for another column that it looks like you did a lot of research for.

Opposition typical of Trump mentality. We have ours, you can’t have any.
