Opposition to Our Schools Now’s $715M tax hike falls to its lowest level yet, poll shows

“We have been polling this question for a year now and the support has remained strong,” said Hinckley Institute director Jason Perry. “They should be encouraged that the opposition is going down as well. Both metrics went in the right direction for them.”

Opposition to a ballot initiative seeking $715 million for public schools through tax increases fell to its lowest levels yet in the latest Tribune-Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.

Q: Do you support or oppose a proposed ballot initiative that would raise sales and income taxes to provide roughly $700 million in new funding for public schools?
