Who is going to be Idaho's high tech quarterback?

December 15, 2007View for printing

There’s no arguing that Idaho’s tech industry needs to gain a few more yards in the Idaho Legislature.

But I’m still left wondering who is going to lead the team. Tech needs a quarterback who can convince our state leaders that the era of tech playing second fiddle to agriculture is over and it’s time to give the tech industry the respect and support it deserves.

I’ve met dozens of devoted people in the tech industry who all want it to thrive. But I truly believe that ‘s not going to happen unless we can find someone to lead the charge. Someone who will not just ask for a seat at the legislative table, but rather take a seat at that table.
