TechIdaho: Parting thoughts from Ken Dey. Idaho still needs to beef up support for tech

The Governor’s Science & Technology Advisory Council is no more, the State’s Office of Science & Technology remains woefully underfunded, and efforts to improve the state’s education system and encourage more Idahoans to go to college are floundering.

I wrap up my second tour at the Idaho Statesman on Friday. By next week, I’ll be the new public relations coordinator at St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center.

It’s a bittersweet departure. I’m looking forward to the new opportunity and the growth potential the health care industry offers, but at the same time I’ll miss my many colleagues and the opportunity to in some way serve as a voice for Idaho’s high technology industry.

Over the last six months or so as I’ve been blogging on the industry, I’ve had the chance to share many of my thoughts on what I think needs to be done.
