But then, I'm a teacher, and I'm too well aware of how state revenues affect state public services. I'm leaving in a bit to meet my mom in Bend for brunch; one of my goals is to get her to do the same. I'll pull the "your daughter is a teacher whose income, retirement, and ability to help take care of you depends on state revenues" card if I have to. She's already well aware of what budget cuts do to me, and to my students.
