Comment: This is a very tiresome excuse.

I attended Eugene public schools during the 1960’s and early 70’s, they were already mediocre long before the advent of property tax limitations. Despite the fact that Eugene’s population has more than doubled there are now fewer students attending ESD schools than during the baby boom.

Public and Higher education are merely the most egregious examples of the inherently mismanaged and corrupt governance that has occurred since Oregon succumbed to one party rule. Measure 97 is a three billion dollar boondoggle, rife with unintended consequences, designed to reward the very incompetents who created this problem.
