Idahoans Unsure Re: Sales Tax Breaks

Item: Many Idaho voters undecided about sales tax breaks: Exemptions disliked but unlikely to change/Dan Popkey, Idaho Statesman

More Info: In the poll, 59 percent said GOP Gov. Butch Otter and GOP legislative leaders were right to rule out tax increases in 2010. But by a 48 percent to 38 percent margin, they would support raising taxes to avoid another round of cuts similar to the 7.5 percent reduction in school support in 2010.

Question: Would you support higher taxes to avoid another round of education cuts?
