This is full-scale piracy of funds that could have gone to a legit school. Every million represents teachers (plural), programs, art, special ed.--all places that have suffered devastating cuts. Even if Oregon gets the money back, it doesn't help the kids who could have benefitted from that money going to a real school for those years.
