Many districts in tlx? state of Oregon had their budgets de feated last year. The budget defeats were quite numerous on iiubsx-ouerrt ee-tion with f-v-eral dis.trl'-ts having their budg ets defeated a wond and th,d time. Budget defea's are high!', undesirable In that they crea'e additional exp-nies ;s w-j 4 a time low tomanv people. The additional cost must lx- borne by the- taxpayer and this cost dix-s not provide any dir'ft re turn to the educational program of the district. The 11 member of the School Board and Budget Committee are w-H aware of the me In property taxes as thev re taxpayers themselves. With the burden of the profx-rty tax in mind they very carefully review and evaluate the items listed In the school budget. However, becauw they work directly with .-.;,tr ts were voiced regard .rv different aspects of the wiv,l program. It is my inten tion in the next few weeks to d.wu- torr.e of thes criticisms and to attempt to explain the distrxl' ixit!on. I alo ho to d;'-'.-u-s brief-, the budg'-t outlook for the I'M 70 wtxx1 year and to review what 1 fe l are rn of the long range rx-eds and goals of the M.hool district. .ext week's column will dal with what I corji.der to be our number one problem, and that is tr.e failure to common irate properly v. ;-h the residej-.n of the vhool district. j urday morning. The sun is shin 1 ing. A great day to take a spon j taneous trip to the beach, j "Wouldn't be a bad day to ; go to the beach," he casually i savs to his wife, j "Oh. wouldn't it be fun to go i to the beach!" she replies. I "Lx-t's go to the beach!" say j the three little tots, starting j their let's-go dance. "How about my paper route?" i says No. 1 offspring, a bit on the dour side. Oh, the paper route. Gloom starts to descend on the family, j "Maybe I can get my Substi tute," says the young carrier-salesman. the chant becomes. "Call i the Substitute. Call the Substi tute, Call him Now!" The family gathers around the phone, listens hopefully to the gnaU-hes of conversation: should sell off a small portion cf the place for a home, do I lose my deferral on the entire place? i cigarette taxes earmarked for 'this purpose, is up approximate- lv jijM. j Annala believes the legisl:.t. i ure has its work well cut out : for it. Obviously, lawmakers are ; expected to come up with some .answers to "the major problem ! facing the next session of the i legislature." Nearly 3cX',0CO Ore- gonians voted for the 14 prr scent property tax limitation: ro doubt thousands more would have if there had been an al ternate method of raising the needed local revenue in the pro posal. Now the ball has been thrown back bv voters to the legislat ure. Any new form of raising revenue to offset property tax es must be approved by th people, however. Because the legislature cannot attach the emergency clause to revenue measures, it either must refer tax reform plans to the voters or expect any measure it ap proves to be tested by popular referendum. Ultimately then, again, the people and not the legislature will have the final say. Every voting citizen should bear this in mind, and be prepared to ac cept constructive ideas the next legislature is hard-pressed to propose. If not, we must be pre pared to accept the continuing rise in local property- taxes which makes OTR's report such uncomfortable reading.
