Oregon 59th District State Representative John Huffman said he is disappointed the Ways and Means Education Subcommittee he is a part of moved forward a $7.255 billion K-12 education budget. Huffman voted no on the budget. In a speech on the floor of the House, The Dalles Republican said the budget approval gave school districts certainty that they would have to cut teachers, programs, and school days. He added constituents told him to prioritize school funding. The full Ways and Means Committee is scheduled to vote on the K-12 budget on Thursday.
