NARRATIVE ANALYSIS:
Question #3 asked the respondents for a preferred location within Onondaga County for a state-run casino. The respondents answered:
Overwhelmingly favored the New York State Fairgrounds
Heavily favored was Destiny USA
Favored was the Inner Harbor
Mentioned was the Airport
Question #7 received the greatest reaction in the comment section of the survey. The clear majority of respondents favored a path to citizenship for these undocumented persons and no public taxpayer benefits until that system was in place.
Question #8 also received a substantial reaction in the comment section of the survey. The vast majority wanted campaign reform, but they did not want their tax dollars used to fund political campaigns, when so many state programs have been cut and people laid off.
