Teachers take on more than they're paid for. A levy would make a large difference for them, while not impacting my finances too much.

Always willing to pay for important things like education and universal health care. Unfortunately, on a national level, these services must compete with military spending and war mongering.

Melissa Howiler

Cause they do n i would!!

Brian SCHIEL

Unless you have been in the classroom you have no idea what these professionals face. We need to get there monthly incomes up to as part of a lead into PERS reform as well.

We already pay federal taxes and more of those dollars could go toward education.

National comparison shows oregon teachers are in the top 15% but our graduation rates are near the bottom. Money WILL NOT fix the problem.

Ben petite

Because we neneed a better gov. No more brown.

Sam Ackerman

The funds are there, just dont spend them on other stuff.

Larry Bruce

No--- Oregon needs to solve PERS draining of Oregon taxpayer money. I would love to recieve a guaranteed 10% kickback from Oregon taxpayers regardless of a recession or not. STOP PERS !

Brandy Barr

THEY DONT DO THEIR JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE SO NO I AM NOT GOING TO PAY THEIR SALARY!

Paul Owen

I have seen the waste just to use departments budget so they won't get cut next budget teachers do need more

Kevin Scoggin

Teachers should aspire to teach, It's called public service for a reason.

Bob Ingram

Budgets need priorities and education should be #1 … there are sufficient dollars especially with the lottery paying so much (that has allowed legislators to take education funds and use them elsewhere

Matthew Carter

I like teachers and I think they are great but haven't we seen enough tax increases???

Raymond Meskill

Already raised my kids

Jessi Johnson Horn

They only teach what the government tells them to. Also, figure out where all the money we already pay in taxes is going and you will find waste that can be then cut and that money go to teachers.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Latterdaysaint

Vote no!

steven

Or, be like Gabe and vote yes and no. Duh.
