We wanted to take a moment to break down a few of them, starting with the responses on taxpayer dollars being spent to build the Barack Obama Presidential Library.
The survey data:
The second question posed to residents was “Do you support the use of $100 million in IL taxpayer dollars to help build the Obama Presidential Library in Chicago, IL?” Only 9.3% of the respondents supported using taxpayer funds to offset the cost of the library, while an overwhelming 85.63% of respondents answered “no” to using taxpayer funds for the Obama library. For this question 5.07% of those who responded said they were undecided.
86% of respondents - and we all know that people who fill out legislative surveys are HARD-CORE folks - say no to taxpayer dollars? That's about as strong as a message as a legislator can get, no?
