#7 Any half-way competent executive comp deal will have a gross up clause. Company just picks up the slack so that its C level people take home the same amount. As it's a cost to the company, prices for its good and services have to go up to cover the difference. When that makes the company noncompetitive they either close shop or move. If Portland had had any questions about this, they could have just asked California.
