Eau Claire school leaders are trying to figure out what to do about their pending tax hike request following a new survey.
The city’s school board got an update on the numbers last night. A little over half the people surveyed said they support the idea of busting Wisconsin’s revenue caps to raise seven-and-a-half million-dollars for schools. But the survey said just 21 percent of people would vote for it.
The survey suggested keeping the property tax increase low, or moving the referendum away from this fall’s election as a way to find more support.
