Potential points of contention

  • Funding source and amount: How the program will be funded (general revenue, bonds, dedicated fees) and whether the cost is justified versus other state priorities
  • Eligibility criteria: Whether requirements for business size, industry type, or geographic location are fair and effectively target intended beneficiaries
  • Program design: Whether assistance takes the form of grants, loans, tax credits, or other mechanisms, and which approaches best serve Oregon's economic goals
