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.”
