State Fairgoers want publicly funded preschool and don't think Social Security recipients should have to pay state income tax on those benefits.
Both sides of the political divide can claim support from the public based on results of the annual poll of State Fair attendees, conducted at the House booth by the nonpartisan House Information Services.
More than 6,300 people took the poll, though House Information emphasizes that it's an informal, unscientific survey of issues discussed during the 2015 session.
Nearly three out of five supported publicly-funded preschool. Nearly three out of four say seniority should not be the primary factor when determining teacher layoffs. More than four out of five think a parent should be required to talk to a doctor before opting their kid out of vaccines.
Two out of three believe Social Security should be exempt from state income taxes.
Respondents also want the state to help local law enforcement buy body cameras for police.
