I have been promoting the Oregon portal for food assistance and et etc aka one.oregon.gov. These are austerity times thanks to blue Dems and red magas . Here is picture of per pupil drop in funding thanks to Kotek and speaker Fahey and Reyfield , former speaker.. while WA is adding new taxes on the rich the super majority of blue sheep in Salem are adding toll roads, and that goes only to the ODOT money pit.

Thanks for sharing this resources! Yes! You’d think we could take a page from our neighbor to the north and do something to remediate the 90s tax revolt. Very frustrating and disappointing.

FYI Trump and Salem are cutting funding for schools. OR Senate committee on education report 2/26/25 shows a decline in the per pupil funding . See page 9 aka slide 9 with the green line going downward on the per pupil funding chart

Thanks for sharing this. What’s happening with our public education system is terrifying, especially for low-income families and students with disabilities. I don’t have the bandwidth to get into what’s happening in Salem—especially on issues that our local leaders don’t have much sway over, like education.
