Perspectives: David Boren – SQ 779

One of the issues facing voters in the November election is State Question 779. We are told that if approved, it would increase the sales and use tax by one cent on the dollar to provide revenue for the Education Improvement Fund. We are also told that it would require a minimum $5,000 salary increase for teachers and would not be used to increase the salaries of school superintendents or add to superintendent positions.

RSU TV has decided to present both sides in an effort to better inform you, the voting public on the issue. In this segment John Durkee will talk with OU President David Boren, who is supporting the measure.
