Would you vote to approve a 1-cent sales tax increase for additional city funding?
Asked at U.S. Post Office, 645 Vt. on April 11, 2007
“Yes. That's a tax that doesn't put a strain on people on a day-to-day basis, and I really do think we need a new library.”
— Carrie Madden, Kansas University researcher/instructor, Lawrence
“Sure. I think it would provide a lot of important services for the city of Lawrence, and I can't think of any alternate sources there would be.”
— Martin Moore, land use facilitator, Lawrence
“Absolutely, because often things like a new library and other city structures are only paid for with tax money, and I think that tax money goes for a good cause that I have no problem paying.”
— Aly Beery, teacher, Lawrence
“I guess I would have to see more specific details of how that money would be spent before I would be in favor of it.”
— Charles Van Ness, electrical technician, Lawrence
