As an Oregon resident watching this mess unfold over the last few years, it seems as if both parties are to blame. The State of Oregon clearly mis-managed the project from their side. On the other hand, Oracle saw this as an opportunity to dump a lot of inexperienced highly-paid consultants on a naive State, and did so. I personally hope that Oregon can recover at least some of my tax dollars that were wasted on this project, but I suspect that won't happen. Oracle probably has better lawyers.
