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.

A lot of revenue and deals have been made

William Schwabe

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Steven Miles

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
