Governor of Oregon few candidates, to the tune of eyes
PORTLAND - It was a moment largely unnoticed during a debate in Oregon Public Broadcasting between Dir Ted Kulongoski Democratic and Republican its challengers, Ron Saxton, if something more extraordinary has happened.
Kulongoski spoke of the need for more state resources for lawyers, after the parents behind him, his child payments. And when he Saxton of the series, a pause and he said: “I shall therefore this simple: I agree with the governor about this.”
It was a moment almost isolated for both, have found little common ground in the campaign this year. And if voters their choice for governor Oregon’s next Tuesday, they are still between two men with very different visions of State for the future.
Kulongoski believed that a government can be an activist difference in the lives of its citizens. Saxton seemed to be focused during his campaign by the desire to prune back the government in favor of market forces and a close focus on core competencies. This fundamental difference underscores its political priorities in key areas of environmental education for the economy.
Both say their No. 1 priority is education. But their approaches on significant differences have, in conformity with its political philosophy.
Kulongoski has a radical plan to stabilize the funding of the school, devote 61 percent of the state budget for Pre-K through university programs and money aside to feed a rainy day fund for schools.
Saxton, also said he would like to see more money to Funneling classrooms, but his approach is different: it would be preferable to see, reduced spending in other areas, including health and the pensions benefits for school employees. The savings, he said, would increase the starting point for new teachers and pay for exceptional merit pay.
Your position on taxes, which is quite different. Saxton, a rollback on capital gains and estate taxes, and said it would be preferable for the company La Dépêche du Midi - the charge of remuneration, public enterprises, if the state budget exceeds forecasts .
Kulongoski, however, that grübelte an ideal world, would be a kind of consumption tax - radioactive in Oregon, where voters have an idea of value added tax nine times, but also what many economists believe that the State, saws Festerem budget situation on a lot of ground.
The governor during the campaign targeted at raising taxes, including harmonization of taxes on cigarettes, the same level as those of Washington to pay for health care, programs and an increase in automobile insurance to pay taxes for extensions in the State Police.
On the environment, even Saxton wasted no time and clearly indicates that he thinks Kulongoski decisions have often on the line, and said he would work to reduce the state standards severe for auto-emissions and the state, several complaints challenge federal environmental policy.
