Johnson Proposes Entire Revenue Forecast Increase Goes To K-12

Oregon 52nd District State Representative Mark Johnson has filed a priority bill calling for all of any increase in the May revenue forecast to go to the K-12 education budget, rather than 40 percent as called for by the budget passed in both chambers of the Legislature.  The Hood River Republican, who also serves on the Hood River County School District Board, says the current budget is inadequate, and hopes he can get his bill to a public hearing and work session.  He believes some majority Democrats want to vote for this kind of bill, but whether their leadership would let them is a question.  Johnson is joined by 26th District Senator Chuck Thomsen as chief sponsor of House Bill 3538.
