Sales Tax Increase - How will you vote?

I guess that it will go to the voters to decide on a sales tax increase to 7%, but of course it's more complicated than a simple tax increase. How will you vote?



Here is the proposed wording for the referendum:



A PROPOSAL TO AMEND THE STATE CONSTITUTION TO ELIMINATE SALES AND USE TAXES ON GASOLINE AND DIESEL FUEL, ALLOW AN INCREASE IN THE SALES TAX RATE, DEDICATE REVENUE FOR SCHOOL AID, AND REVISE ELIGIBLE SCHOOL AID USES.



The proposed constitutional amendment would:





■ Eliminate all sales or use taxes on gasoline and diesel fuel used in motor vehicles operated on public roads or highways beginning on Oct. 1, 2015.





■ Allow an increase in the sales tax rate from 6% to 7%.





■ Activate other laws dedicating additional revenue for transportation purposes, including repair of roads, streets and bridges.





■ Require state funds for school aid to be used exclusively for financial assistance for public school districts, community colleges, and career and technical education and related scholarships.





■ Dedicate a portion of use tax revenue for school aid purposes.



Should this proposal be adopted?



YES [ ]
