Poll: Education is our top priority

• Monday Poll: Idaho Gov Butch Otter had it right when he made education funding the top priority for 2017 in his State of the State speech Monday.

Also: 18 (10.11%) want tax cuts. 17 (9.55%) wants the Legislature to fix the recent “loser-pays ruling” by the Idaho Supreme Court. 11 (6.18%) cited transportation. 6 (3.37%) picked Add the Words. And 10 (5.62%) voted “other.”
