Though a bill to allow local option sales taxes appears dead in the
legislature, a Bluegrass Poll released Thursday shows the plan continues
to garner strong public support. The poll, conducted by SurveyUSA,
showed 63 percent of Kentuckians in favor of amending the state
constitution to give voters the right to approve or reject specific
local taxes to pay for projects, 23 percent opposed and 14 percent
unsure. It has majority support in every demographic breakdown measured
by the pollsters.
