Could you provide a simple link to that survey? Or to any other information that backs up your claim? (I'm still looking on the LWV site but haven't found any survey)

EDIT: Never mind, here it is
EDIT 2: It appears you didn't read the survey or are intentionally misrepresenting the results. Out of nine candidates, one did not respond, two didn't understand the question (or chose to answer a different question) and the other six supported lowering taxes.

I have listened to two candidate forums and read what has been published in local papers. I have not seen or heard anything from any candidate saying they would "not remove the double taxation." The ONLY thing I have seen or heard in that information is Commissioner Wiley's discussion of the study the current Commissioners have in place to determine how much to remove.
