Governor wants to boost Oregon’s economy with eco-friendly jobs

At a time of sluggish home values, bounding gas prices and shrinking businesses Gov. Ted Kulongoski has mapped a jobs strategy that plays off worldwide concern about climate change and takes advantage of Oregon’s eco-friendly reputation.
