Query into state’s bowl trips unanswered

QrwrQOn IXtify &k1
The Oregon l,i anomic Development Depart merit
has not soffit inntly answered questions raised about
money used for trips to the Rose Bawl, said Julia
Brim Edwards, spokeswoman far House Speaker
Bev (damn.
Oanto received a response from William C Scott,
director of the Oregon Economic Development
Department, who answered her questions in vague
terms. Brim Edwards said
House Speaker Bev Clarno last w eek criticized
the Economic Development Department's decision
to send 12 employee* to the Rose Bowl using state
money
The department spent about $22,000 from the Ore
gon lottery fund to pay for the trips, which were
supposed to attract new business to the state
Expenses included meals and hotel bills for each
employee,
Clarno said that was not act eptahle and asked
Scot! to provide her with more details atxnit the trip
"Attracting businesses to the state is certainly a
laudable goal and one that I support.” said Clamo,
in a letter to Scott "However. I believe this action
raises questions whether the taxpayers' money was
appropriately spent."
Clarno wants some type of justification for the
expenditures, including names of companies with
i r
whom the department met.
The development department says that those
names, representing Sit billion in business, are con
fidential, but S< ott said in a response letter toClamo
that ho would lie happy to meet with her "to pro
vide that information confidentially."
The development department wanted to take
advantage of ail the publicity surrounding the Uni
versity's partic ipation in the Rose Howl and meet
with prospective investors in the state, said Peggy
Kberle. communication manager for the Kconomie
Development Department,
These businesses were (vises that the development
had been working on prior to the Rose Howl and the
office took the opportunity to follow up on some
interests, Klierle said.
" This was a prime opportunity to cement busi
ness,” she said.
"Being quite aware that we would have to justify
it to the legislature, we still chose not to pass up the
chance to take advantage of Oregon's celebration in
Southern California.” said Scott, in his letter to
Clamo.
Members for the development department met
with tit) representatives from about 25 companies,
Kberle said.
Tlie department is investigating the issue and fur
ther reports on the events of the trip and expenses
will tw available later today, she said
