12/13/2009 Entry: "taxes for kids?" Today Qehn and I hopped a couple school buses and rode an hour north to Salem (the capitol of Oregon) to rally for kids or education or something like that. The Stand For Kids people put it on and the Oregonian wrote an article about it. Keep in mind if you read the article that the Oregonian has been criticized for having a conservative slant in the past. We had over 5,000 people rallying for Oregon schools and what not. They're main solution seemed to be raising corporate and "vice" taxes and dipping into our rainy day fund. Neither solution I'm super happy about. I'm all about corporations paying a fair amount of taxes, which in Oregon they currently aren't - but if we go too crazy it will just lead to layoffs and an even worse tax base. Raising beer and other vice taxes also seems a bit classist to me. Their other solution is to dip into the education budget's "rainy day" fund due to our 20% budget shortfall this year. The problem with that is that next year it's supposed to be even worse - so I feel this is a short sighted solution. Also, cutting the school year 1 or 2 days saves as much money as an elementary school uses in a year. (Really!) Maybe that's not such a bad idea - even though it'd fuck hourly employees like me. Some teachers and administrators are day dreaming of a four day school week - but this would be catastrophic. Probably 90% of the hourly workers like Instructional Assistants, who currently generally only work 30 hours/week as it is, would have to leave the district for jobs that could offer more hours. This would cripple the school district which relies incredibly heavily on IA support. All in all the rally was pretty boring. I took a bunch of video in hopes of getting something not boring, but it just didn't happen. I may mix it down to some 30 second spot to show off to you guys, or I may just forget about the whole thing. The highlight for me was entertaining kids on the bus ride with my contact ball, clown nose, and rainbow hair. Lets hope none of those parents find this site, figure out it's me due to the description, and hear me swear. Swearing is bad mmmKAY? ------------ In other news at least Wisconsin is copying Oregon laws in their bid to protect bicyclists. A careless motorist in Wisconsin who kills or seriously injures a “vulnerable user” of a public roadway, such as a bicyclist or pedestrian, should be subject to higher fines and suspension of their driver’s license. That would be possible if a new law in Oregon is passed by the Wisconsin Legislature. The article is a good, short read.
