Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The bulk of the funding for public schools comes from the state general fund and how much schools receive is dependent on enrollment rates.
48% : One area in which the proposal might prompt a decrease in spending is public education.
43% : Sales tax revenues would see the greatest impact, and income tax collections, to a lesser degree, would also decrease.
42% : That failure to account for the proposal's price tag likely renders it unconstitutional because Arizona law mandates that ballot referrals which lead to an increase in state spending must both provide a funding source and ensure that the revenue stream doesn't pull from the state's general fund.
