I wasn’t able to attend Mark Rivers City Club speech but there seems to be a lot of reactions out there to it.
The Boise Weekly has a very short post regarding his comments about the Boise Hole:

TechBoise is a blog, and not a news agency, but that is still no reason for us to slip into rank boosterism. At the same time no one here wants to adopt a sky-is-falling tone. Still, amidst all the constant lists that Boise makes for being a great place to live, work, and raise a […]
Those of you on Twitter or at OSCON have already seen the posts from @kveton and @turoczy about the press that Vidoop is getting as they move their corporate headquarters from Oklahoma to Portland. I think there are at least three important lessons in this article I am reposting from the Oregonian:

The report cites wage data for 2006. I’ve written plenty of stories about this data while at the Statesman and when I was at Commerce & Labor the data was a key […]
Technology and Agriculture have made interesting bedfellows in this state. Many have argued that ag is the withering dinosaur and tech is the shining star of the future. I myself have been caught up in this “bipartisanship”.
Many have ranted and raged about the need for the state to do more to help tech succeed […]

BVEP executive director Paul Hiller said, “By adding Quintana to our direct selling efforts, it significantly expands our ability to showcase what our region has to offer. I have been continually impressed with his work at the chamber, and […]
Last year I went on the INL tour and was really impressed with the aggressiveness that INL was licensing of their technology and also working to get companies to move their little corner of the world.
I don’t know how much INL played in the decision for Areva to move to Eastern Idaho but I do […]
Here’s my news tip for Boise (especially any elected or wannabe/soon to be elected officials):
