WCA is working with Wood Communications to conduct numerous polls about county government, government spending and our tax structure. WCA also worked with 69 of 72 counties to ask the public about state mandates in April 2005. 86% of the voting public said that the state should fund its mandates. Finally, WCA is conducting a series of ads on public radio about the role of county government. PWhat is the point?The political parties do extensive polling, therefore, with a few exceptions, polls and public opinion tend to determine what type of legislative and budgetary proposals will be brought forward during any given legislative session and budget process. 2007-08 Legislative Session Legislative proposals will be introduced beginning in January 2007. 2007-09 state budget will be submitted in February 2007.
