Oregonian Looks into FedEx Ground - August 30, 2007

The Oregonian ran two stories that looked into two aspects of the FedEx Ground model.

One article covered the Oregon member case of the multi-district litigation.  The recent Estrada ruling was noted, as was the straight talk from FedEx on how it still hasn't decided if it will appeal again in California.

The second article focused on the possible relocation of a FXG hub, the question of incentives for such commercial investment and the secondary impact on the environment and job-creation by the proposed move. In the end, unfortunately for Oregon taxpayers, it looks like the pols are more scared of accusations of 'losing new jobs' than of measuring the complete cost of these things.
