We’ll be accepting nominations for the AFT-OR Convention, and for the AFT National Convention. We hope to see you there on Wednesday, January 6th!
Ballots will begin arriving in less than a month, but most voters still don’t know there’s an important election in January that will decide the fate of Oregon’s schools and critical services. On January 26th vote will decide whether or not to make corporations and the wealthiest Oregonians pay their fair share.
Measures 66 and 67 protect nearly $775 million in education funding for pr K-12 and community colleges. Don’t Let Corporations Get Away with Paying just $10 in Taxes.
Did you know…
It’s time for a change! That’s why Oregon Legislative passed two targeted tax increases on large corporations and income above $250,000 for couples.
If you’re not in a household making more then $250,000, or running a large corperation, you won’t be paying anymore under these measures.
