UTICA, New York - Two-thirds of likely voters agree that state legislatures have
the authority to cut state employee salaries and 52% agree they can void
collective bargaining agreements to reduce spending.
Voiding collective bargaining agreements is also seen as preferable to
continuing to pay state employees at current levels or layoffs of state workers
in order to reduce spending and control deficits.
These results come from a Zogby Interactive poll conducted from Feb. 18-21,
2011.
Do you agree or disagree with State legislatures having the authority to cut
state employee salaries in an effort to reduce spending?
