I keep hearing Sho say he will bring a fresh perspective about business to City Hall, I have heard him asked in at least five different forums to list specifics that would indicate Portland is not a business friendly place nor specifics about what policies he would enact.

He keeps coming back to attitude and saying that City Hall is anti-business: Business communities always feel that there is too much regulation, too much oversight, too much government. How can we trust someone who just says "trust me, I'm a good guy" but offers no substance ala Tom Potter and Frank Invancie?
