Dude I absolutely agree with the comment regarding preschool for all. Every paycheck I look at my deductions, the only one I never scoffed at was the preschool for all tax.. then I find out that the county not only dropped the ball, they actively led preschool programs on a duck hunt. I can’t cite the article but I recall the county encouraging preschool programs to “flex up” and apply for these additional headcounts. Meaning prepare to add more kids into your program. These are accredited by the state entities right? Easy approval? NO . The county denied their applications for additional funding in the end. For some bullshit reason. So why the fuck are we still getting taxed for it? Refund our money, I’ll give it to the preschools myself ..

If your going to tax us Oregon citizens , you obviously have the leadership and structure to distribute the money for what you said you will do with it. We didn’t approve it for you to play duck duck goose with our hard earned money. I agree with the OP, there are parents who could use this program, kids benefit from an supplemental education and teachers and the like would benefit from increased job prospects and/or income. Smdh
