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
