A tax to support the homeless is essential to helping fix or alleviate the problem where I live. These people need support.

Every working class citizen is 1 paycheck away from homelessness. Without funding any resources, we are tacitly encouraging the problem.

Sam Ackerman

No they are not, if you are then that is YOUR problem. Spend less and save more.

There's no reason to tax certain households based on income to re-distribute wealth. These people need a different kind of help, and can make their own money eventually.

Sam Ackerman

Hello not, they are lazy, or people that chose to use drugs. Let them fix their own problems that they created for them self's. If do feel bad for the people with true mental issues,

OH please. Liberals want more and more handouts.

Only in the form of a sales tax, so that EVERYONE can share in the pain. I am sick & tired of taxes on no one but homeowners. It is unending!! I I wish OR would implement a sales tax.

I'm all for helping homeless people; I buy them food. But the help should be voluntary, not forced; their problems are their problems and different people have different values.

Brad Livsey

ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I canvased 30 indigents recently to come rake needles for an afternoon, a nice meal with fair money paid.... NOT ONE took me up on my offer citing one failed excuse after another.

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Kimmy Wasatch

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
