State Representative Ed Clere's 2013 Legislative Survey arrived in the mailbox just the other day. Here it is, courtesy of the web version.
---
Thank you for taking the time to fill out this survey. The questions are intended to reflect issues that may come before the legislature. The questions included should not be interpreted as a reflection of my views on the issues. Your input will help me gauge the opinions of House District 72. Please don't complete this on-line survey if you plan on returning the mailed survey.
(Editor's note: 1 - 10 are name, address, rank, serial number and the like)
11. We currently pay an Indiana gas tax of 18 cents per gallon. In 2007, that gas tax produced $570M in revenue for road funding. In 2011, it only produced $543M.
