on H1N What?

Is the nasal vaccine for H1N1 less effective than the injectible vaccine?  Is it advised to space out the seasonal vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine or is it ok to have both done at the same time?

Does Metro and Builders consider school capacity when they talk about infrastructure when growing a community?  Our public schools (Bethany area or the Bvtn school district) have been busting at the seams with no releif for years.  Bonds for building new schools have been passed and the school district is still falling further behind in keeping up with the need.  Even after the builders agreed to a minimal SDC charge to be applied to schools, this would probably only raise enough money to get a few portable classrooms for already overcrowded schools.  I am actually relieved that the new home building has slowed down to give our schools some to catch up.

on Layoff or Day Off?

The teacher guest commented that she thought everyone should step up to solve the school budget shortfall.  I am a parent and I am ready to make a sacrifice for education of children in Oregon.  Why is there not discussion of increasing taxes or a special tax levy.  It seems that spreading the shortfall across the whole population of Oregon is much less of a burden than focusing the sacrifice specifically on the teachers.  Perhaps those Oregonians who have lost their job are exempt from the taxes as they currently have no income for the unforseeable future.
