This will allow local units of government to stabilize their budgets, it will allow school districts to have more money per pupil, it will allow our transit to get the boost its needed for decades, and it will fix our god awful roads. Anyone on the left, as I am, who thinks they are sticking it to any conservative or this legislature in specific by voting against increased funding for roads, schools, transit, local gov. and the EITC is delusional. It's 1%. Vote YES.
