Roby Smith Constituent Survey

1.Thank you for participating in the Roby Smith for Senate 2013 Iowa Constituent Survey. Every citizen deserves to have their voice heard and this survey is a way to do so. Once constituents have had the opportunity to complete the survey, we will tabulate and publish the results. Leave us your email address if you would like the results sent directly to you.

Your responses are completely confidential, but for verification purposes, please type a valid State of Iowa street address here.
(Required.)
2.Of the following choices, which ONE do you believe should be the top priority of the State of Iowa over the next eighteen months? (please choose only one):
3.Do you have children or grandchildren attending Iowa public schools?
4.Would you say the amount you pay in taxes to the STATE government is too high, too low or about right?
5.Would you tell your legislator to vote for or to vote against a proposed 10 cent gas tax increase, if you knew all the money would be used to fix Iowa’s roads and bridges?
6.If the state legislature voted to cut taxes this year, would you prefer they reduce corporate property taxes, personal income taxes, personal property taxes or residential property taxes?
7.Would you say that the bargaining power of government worker unions (which represent state workers, teachers and public safety officers) is too strong, about right or too weak?
8.Should the legislature pass a ban on red light cameras that are used to catch speeders and other traffic law violators?
