With about a month or so to go until the State Legislature recesses, there are a number of issues that the Legislature and Governor are considering. For each of the following proposals, Id like you to tell me first how much youve heard about it and
then whether you support or oppose the proposal, or simply do not have enough information in order to say. [QUESTIONS ROTATED]
