The real story typically comes from the real people involved. If they express their opinions and tell their story on social media, it's unfiltered.

Social media's a hotbed of misinformation! I'd never believe a post until I saw it confirmed on a news outlet.

People like to share things that are "shocking" and feed into their fear and filter bias. I always fact check or see if I can at least find the story on other sources.

Sam Ackerman

First off a "opinion" is just that. It's not fact, it's not news, it's just what some one thinks or feels. The same goes for "media outlets" No one gives a damm about your "opinions"

You can tell some things would not normally be filmed.

One has only to look at FB and its fake news and its coverup of same to know that many social posts are fake. Don't read or trust any of them.

Russian trolls and idiots that perpetuate their crappy memes. Don't believe anything you read on FB without verifying it independently, ever.

To often you learn later that it's fake or highly embellished.

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.
