Anyone else find it interesting that a 1% reduction in funding is "devastating"? Just last week I heard CNN commentators discuss 2%-3% tax increases on the general public as money that won't be missed.
Per any government agency facing budget shortfalls or cuts, the first thing they'll cut is services and goods to customers, and the last thing they'll ever cut is overhead.
Oregon doesn't let their police police anyway, so what the fuck difference does it make?
Not sure how Oregon is structured but the best thing that could happen to WA public schools is to have about 3 levies in a row get voted down so the fuckhead administrators could right size their bloated budgets, staff and capital projects.

No bias!

I have a family member who works at a NPR station somewhere in WhOregon. "What I'm hearing:" 9 percent budget cuts.

Much like the State of Oregon when wanting to hike taxes, they trot out the alternative is always laying off teachers and cops.
And the proper response should be "So"?
