Making A Case For More School Money In Oregon

promiseoregon.org

Oregon's state government income is rising so fast, taxpayers might get refund checks under the state's "kicker" law this year. 

But education advocates want to see some of the increased revenue going to schools, to reduce class sizes and make other improvements.

The campaign goes on to make the case for additional funding.  We hear about its aims.
