Georgians may be jittery about their jobs and the economy, but many of them are willing to pay more to fund schools, according to a new poll conducted for the Georgia Newspaper Partnership.
Half of the respondents to a poll of 625 registered voters, conducted by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research Inc., said they would pay higher taxes or fees to restore education spending cuts that have led to teacher furloughs and layoffs the past few years.
