More than two months before Salt Lake voters will have a chance to vote on a $125 million public-safety bond, Proposition 1 has "broad support," according to a city sponsored survey.
Sixty-nine percent of residents surveyed said they either plan to or lean toward voting for the bond measure, according to the survey by Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin & Associates, a California-based opinion research and analysis firm.
In a news release, Salt Lake City officials said the most encouraging findings from the research centered around the level of awareness voters had of the proposition. Ninety percent of voters were aware of the bond, according to the survey.
Should the bond measure pass, Salt Lake residents would see an average of $75 tacked onto their property tax. That money would be used to build a new public-safety headquarters and emergency-operations center.
