To help make up the gap, Utah shifts state sales tax revenue into the Transportation Fund. Do you favor or oppose the following proposal to close the gap between funds raised by the gasoline tax and the funds needed for road construction and maintenance?

As you may know, last November voters adopted Proposition 4, which sets up an independent commission to redraw U.S. House and legislative district lines instead of the state legislature drawing the lines for these districts. State legislative leaders have argued that Proposition 4 is flawed and they want to fix it. Others argue that the independent commission is fine and should be left alone. Which of the following actions about Proposition 4 do you favor?

The legislature allows Proposition 4 to go into effect as written and passed by voters.
The legislature makes minor changes to Proposition 4 but preserves the independent redistricting commission.
The legislature changes Proposition 4 so that the legislature still controls the redistricting process.
The legislature completely does away with Proposition 4.

Voters in a number of states have enacted term limits, which restrict the number of years state legislators and governors can serve in office before they must step down. Some people think term limits are a good idea that keep public officials from staying in office too long and losing touch with the concerns of average voters. Others think term limits are a bad idea that put inexperienced people in office and prevent voters from re-electing capable legislators. Who do you agree with more--those who think term limits are a good idea, or those who think they are a bad idea?
