Question 8:
Thinking only about your first priority for the REGION selected in Question
7, how supportive would you be of having local governments in the metro area work together to address it?
Question 9:
How willing would you be to have a portion of your local taxes pooled with other communities in the region to address your first regional priority?
Question 10:
How willing would you be to raise taxes (such as a 1/2 cent sales tax) to address your first regional priority?
Despite the fact that Kansas City respondents felt the most disconnect between their community and the metro as a whole, they were the most willing to pull together as a region to address key regional issues. (See data for Question 8, Question 9 and Question 10)
Respondents were asked to identify how willing they would be to:
- work together as a region,
- pool local taxes, and
- raise taxes to address their number one regional priority.
Kansas City showed the most support for all three questions. Denver was a close second for working together and pooling local taxes, but 60.5 percent of Kansas City respondents supported raising taxes to address problems. No other metro was over 50 percent for this question.
