An interview with Chuck Sheketoff of Oregon Center for Public Policy
In this brief interview, Chuck Sheketoff, executive director of the Oregon Center for Public Policy, refutes the idea that low taxes are good for the business climate. He explains that “Oregon businesses need good investments and public structures to thrive. They need the courts open five days a week, they need good transportation systems, bridges that don’t collapse.” He consciously utilizes the public structures concept to describe government and its role in vivid ways instead of trying to defend “government” per se. In doing so, he doesn’t risk the possibility of cuing up his listening audiences’ negative frames about government.
