- Mountain_Skies 5y agoIt's interesting to see how different bond proposals are received by the public. In the more conservative areas I've lived, adding a penny to the sales tax to fund school bonds is pretty much always approved by the voters and renewals are likewise rubberstamped. In liberal areas, that's a much more difficult tax to get passed, mainly on the grounds that it is regressive. School bonds secured with increased property taxes tend to work in the reverse, with property tax increases being popular in liberal areas but opposed in conservative ones.
