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.

tell them to focus on real world problems instead of stalking & terrorizing peoples lives. really must have nothing to do

Elizabeth Spalding

1. How? Limit the internet? Block websites? = censorship 2. Why? = since when does the government become responsible for my mistakes? 3. This means the government can dictate arbitrary issues of conduct, do you know what that potentially means??!

Amy

I think the government has enough on its plate.

Fred Colbern

No. Government is not your mommy or your daddy (despite popular belief). Whatever happened to self-control and personal responsibility.

Brian Klein

Self control is the way.

Larry Ewart

Why would anyone want more government intervention in to their life? Its not the responsibility of government to be all things for us as individuals.

Rachel Abudaram

Because everyone in the world loves social media. It’s a thing we all love

Mike Aronow

No one's taking away my SquareOffs! Plus, it's far too subjective for the government to get involved.

Cindy Jones

Government has no business in my Social Media.

Larry Ewart

I am with you Cindy!

Catz nJazz

And your sugar addition, and your alcohol and coffee intake, and your fast food intake...do you really want to give the government even more power?
