April 9, 2018 Member Poll Question Title * 1. China has issued tariffs on cranberries from the United States, as one of many retaliatory tariffs they are issuing in response to President Trump's tariffs on aluminum and steel. This could impact the Wisconsin economy, as more than half of the world's cranberries come from our state. Generally speaking, do you support the President's tariffs, even if they result in impacts on the local economy? Yes, I support the tariffs. I'm somewhere in the middle. No, I don't support them. How did you answer and why? OK Question Title * 2. The UW System will be taking a "transition year" as it merges its two-year and four-year schools. Do you support the original plan for these mergers? Yes, merge the schools for more efficiency. I'm in the middle. No, leave the schools as they are. Did you or anybody you know attend a UW school? Which one? How do you feel about this plan? OK Question Title * 3. Multiple Wisconsin communities saw a referendum on their ballots last week, asking whether or not corporations are people, and if money is free speech. How do you feel about this issue? Corporations are people, and their political donations are free speech. I'm in the middle. Corporations are not people, and money is not free speech. Did you have a referendum on your ballot? How did you answer, and why? OK Question Title * 4. Governor Walker said, if requested, he would send Wisconsin National Guard troops to the border with Mexico to assist the federal government in combating illegal immigration and drug trafficking.
