Perhaps they'd need a bit less if they followed the lead set by 32 other states. Florida established the first state-funded online learning program in 1997, and 32 other states now offer them.
Oh, right...if it works, Oregon won't bother with it. "Green" Oregon would rather bus students to brick-and-mortar sites than offer online classes. After all, allowing online courses would have the effect of reducing the number of public employees, among other cost-savings. Quite simply, that will not do! Oregon may, however, "lead the way" by installing energy-efficient lamps, or perhaps by growing flowers on the roofs of public buildings. Yes, there's the ticket: they'll need to hire more horticulture staff to maintain the roofs!
Darn - that'll mean that they'll be running out of money again. Which means that they'll have to run yet another expensive campaign in order to guilt-trip that wallet out of your pocket.
