2017 SJR 36: Guaranteed funding of education and public safety.

Wow!  A hundred posts already!  This is a short one today.

What SJR 36 Does

Senate Joint Resolution No. 36 was filed by Senator Knopp.  This bill proposes to add new sections 16 and 16a to Article IX, entitled "Finance" of the Oregon State Constitution.  See here for discussion on a similar proposal previously.  The proposal defines education and public safety and then mandates that spending on these are to be at a minimum 33% of the budget.  There is a ramp up from where we are currently to 33% over the next 6 years.  This is similar to a previously discussed proposal, see here.

My View

As with the previous proposal, I do not support this bill.
