Survey
I have compiled the results from the survey you received earlier this year. I want to thank the almost one thousand constituents who took the time to respond.
Of 1000 respondents, 62% were in favor of supporting a minimum salary of approximately $30,000 for new teachers.
Protecting teachers from liability when they follow school board policies was supported by 82% of the respondents.
Using state money for children in failing districts to move into a successful district only received 35% support.
On supporting large businesses with incentives, only 56% agreed. When it came to giving small businesses the same incentive, 84% were in favor. When it came to lowering tax burden on all businesses instead of just large, 70% answered yes.
Reviewing tax credits regularly was supported by 91% of respondents.
The tax structure that Missouri should have was evenly spread at 29%-30% between the progressive, flat tax, and consumption tax.
Tax deductions for healthcare costs received 85% approval.
Photo ID to vote has also been a hot topic, was supported by 67% of respondents.
More than 80% supported term limits on all Missouri elected officials including state-wide offices.
On transportation, 35% of my constituents support toll roads, 13% want an increase in fuel tax, 5% want a sales tax and 19% want no increase in taxes.
