2006: At the Breaking Point -- Taxation and Governance on Long Island
About the Survey
This survey, commissioned by the Rauch Foundation, focuses on the central dilemma facing Long Island: how do we continue to provide the quality of services expected by local residents while holding the line on taxes?
The survey was undertaken to explore local opinion on taxes, housing costs and services. It was conducted by the Stony Brook University Center for Survey Research during the summer of 2005. Telephone interviews were conducted with a randomly selected sample of 1,215 Long Island residents, and with randomly selected over-samples of 204 African-American and 104 Hispanic residents of Long Island.
