The State’s largest education union, the Oregon Education Association PAC, declined to endorse any governor candidates.   This was decided by 75% of their voting members.  The union backed, Working Families Party, also declined to make any governor endorsements. Read more here.

Governor Kotek made incredible political sacrifices to appease the teacher’s union.  Kotek passed the Corporate Activities Tax cited as the most expensive tax passed in Oregon history by raising billions … yes, billions solely for schools!   Governor Kotek tried to steal the people’s Income Tax Refund last year as a way to rake in more government money.  Under Kotek, education spending has grown 70% in about a decade.   Apparently, the government unions want even more spending, more taxes, more new revenue streams.
