Very well, taxes may be at 10% (Oregon doesn't have sales tax, btw), but there are fewer companies to pay the tax (as has been mentioned). Property tax has also been fairly flat.
But there has been no corresponding decrease in number of students in the various districts.
And inflation to the mix and you have a net negative growth of funding to services.
