Hey buddy, can you spare $100? Laney Fouse Editor-in-Chief Governor John Kitzhaber has called on Oregonians to in vest in the future of the state by allowing him to reinvest the so- called “kicker” revenue gener ated by Oregon’s thriving economy. It comes as no surprise that many oppose his idea. The pro ponents say to give the money back to the taxpayers. I say why bother. The average taxpayer would only receive about $100. This money would have to be included as income on next year’s 1040 and would be taxed all over again. So how exactly do we come out ahead? As my economics textbook would say, “There is no free lunch.” Somewhere, somehow, down the road, and it may be sooner than you think, we will all pay for not educating ourselves and our children. I say let the governor keep the money and make the necessary investments in our future. Let’s not forget the $459-million loss to school funding as a result of the passage of Measure 47. His plans are to pass part of this rev enue onto schools from prekin dergarten to grade 12 through community colleges and the state system of higher education. It’s not just the school sys tem that will get a booster shot. The governor also plans to help fund the maintenance, preserva tion and modernization of Oregon’s roads; provide long term funding for the state’s parks systems; and improve water quality for the restoration of en dangered salmon and trout spe cies. And it doesn’t stop there. The other features of the governor’s “Investment Budget” includes expanding the Oregon Health Plan to include students, redirecting economic aid to rural communities, expanding JOBS (to help reduce welfare roles), adding new troopers to Oregon State Police, building two new prisons and developing juvenile crime prevention strategy. Now, honestly, could any one of us buy all that for $100? New term keeps campus Public Safety officers busy Mairin-Anne Moore News Editor A new beginning to any thing involves change and consequence; with the begin ning of a new semester, there are new students and more public safety concerns.
