No-Brainer
Unsurprisingly, Oregonians said no to a tax hike. Power to the people.
Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.

You realize, of course, that the education budget will be slashed as a result of this rejection. Your praise of that is pretty hard to square with your praise of this.

That sucks but the government should figure out ways to cut spending. I support funding of public education, roads, defense etc. But i’m sure there’s some special interest crap that can be cut to make up the money.

Which “special interest crap” do you think should be cut? I am genuinely curious as to what program decisions you think should change and would make up for the cuts to education. It seems to me that education is one of the largest parts of a state budget. Personally, I think if you are going to argue “fiscal responsibility” you should cut highway budgets, but that never happens.

I’ve not gone through their budget by line item (and won’t) but there is always chaff. For example, here in TN they spent $1M to renovate a golf course a while back. That’d buy lots of books.

Uncle:
Sure there’s always chaff, but half a billion worth? Just because our last governor was a wasteful incompetent doesn’t mean everybody’s governor had the same problem…

Cry me a river. The burden of proof for not wasting money is on them. Fool me once, etc.
