(Salem, OR)  --  A seven-point-three-billion-dollar package of education legislation is on its way to Governor Kate Brown.  The Oregon State Senate approved the fund yesterday, despite objections from Republicans, who say it's inadequate.  The fund contains 600-million dollars more than the fund for the current fiscal period, which ends June 30th.  The budget's floor manager told the "Portland Tribune" it will boost funding by 100 dollars per student and cushion them from most cutbacks.
