Last in the nation on education. One of the highest crime rates. One of the highest overdose rates. Highest taxes in the nation. Even when you die! We are losing at all the metrics we win at!

Deschutes county came after us again last election for more school funding...crying about losing pandemic funds and laying off teachers. Well, when you don't give your customers (students and parents) what they want and they no longer come to school and you spend more and more money on administrators and consultants, guess what? you're going to lose money and have to cut back on spending. That's how a real business is run.

I noted, in our local newspaper today, that the vast majority of the Letters to the editor were castigating the Trump Administration's actions. It would appear that Ms Kotek is playing to the crowd. Typical politician: ignore that mess in your own backyard, and decry all that you can do nothing about. It seems to be working for 'them/her/it'.
