Portland's villains don't want us to tax the rich. But ... that's where the money is.
Preschool for All (PFA), Multnomah County's free, universal preschool program, was passed as a ballot measure in 2020.

Most importantly, it raises $200 million per year in funding exclusively through a tax on the richest 8% and has brought a much-needed wage increase for preschool workers (now over $21 per hour).
Willamette Week just reported that local real estate ghoul Greg Goodman has hired formerly-progressive mercenary Paige Richardson to help him organize our local billionaire and mega-millionaire class against it.
