With 64 percent of the citizens saying they would vote to tax marijuana to fix the roads, compared to only 43 percent who would raise the sales tax to do it, maybe the governor should take a second look at his May ballot proposal.
Of course, he can’t, because that die is already cast.
Besides, he doesn’t like the other idea.
“I don’t see marijuana being the solution,” he opines after getting a peek at the first statewide poll on how to fix the roads.
The survey was conducted for a pro-marijuana coalition, and when asked about the sales tax, 49 percent said forget it.
Now the governor is correct in stating that “we’re early in the process,” but his proposal is under water.
Normally if you are pushing any ballot proposition, you want support in the high 60’s so that when the opposition starts to bang away, there is room for your support to come down but still not fall below 50 percent needed for passage."
