Oregon State Senator Chuck Thomsen says he is supportive of the latest statewide K-12 education budget number for the upcoming biennium of eight-point-two billion dollars, and he thinks they will get to the eight-point-four billion number that school officials have said is needed to maintain the status quo.  The Hood River Republican said he had never voted for a school budget before at the committee level because he never felt it received enough funding.  Thomsen serves on the education sub-committee that voted on the K-12 budget.  It is now subject to hearings today through Wednesday at the Ways and Means Committee.
