If you haven't voted yet, you have plenty of company. KOIN reported that a little more than 40 percent of Oregon voters had returned their ballots as of Monday morning, according to the secretary of state's office, and even fewer in Washington.

Elections officials want people to drop ballots in a drop box as soon as possible. Some voters KATU spoke with chose a drop box to avoid possible mail delays. We suggest skipping the mail and going early.

Portland Public Schools asks the state to help ease a $65 million deficit

Portland Public Schools, Oregon's largest district, faces a $65 million deficit next school year. Superintendent Kimberlee Armstrong announced Monday that up to 450 full-time-equivalent positions could be eliminated. The district breaks that down as 223 at schools, 60 in support roles and 167 in the central office and administration.

That doesn't necessarily mean 450 layoffs. KATU reports the total can include vacancies and services counted as staff equivalents. Armstrong said the district starts with the central office.

“The Governor should consider accessing $500 million from the Ed Stability Fund to buy down the PERS rate for schools across the state.”

Michelle Morrison, PPS chief financial officer
  • payments: about $40 million of the deficit
  • : $1 billion, funded by lottery dollars
  • Closure proposals: 11 or 14 schools

A women's group called the "Coffee and Conversation Gals" is building a community rock snake in Tualatin, and she's already got a name: Cleopatra. A big painted rock serves as the head, and neighbors add their own painted rocks to the body. The parks director suggested starting with 100 rocks. Slither on, Cleopatra.
