Majority Supported Billboard Tax, Going to Vote on Dec. 1st at 9:30am
All eyes are on Council following the release of a new EKOS Research poll that found 70% of Torontonians support such a tax. The polling also shows that a clear majority are less likely to support the tax if it does not end up supporting the arts. Fully 80% of Torontonians also believe that government investments in arts and culture improve the local economy. The results are based on 700 respondents and are valid +/- 3.7 percentage points 19/20. View at: http://www.beautifulcity.ca/ekos.pdf
On Friday, The City of
Beautifulcity.ca will also present a petition that includes over 4300 signatures in support for the billboard tax for art and enforcement. For comparison, this is over twice the number of names submitted against the Land Transfer Tax.
