Abstract | This paper focuses on the characteristics of Massachusetts voters who support Proposition 2 1/2, a stringent property tax limitation measure. Section I uses cross-tabular analysis to examine variations in support for the tax limitation measure across a number of demographic, household, and municipal characteristics, as well as attitudinal dimensions. Section II employs multivariate analysis to assess the impact of each of these characteristics on voting behavior, controlling for all other variables. The final section summarizes the Massachusetts findings and compares them to the results of tax limitation studies in California and Michigan. Overall, this study clearly indicated that household heads voted in their apparent economic self-interest and that community characteristics influenced the vote. Appended are four references and information concerning the statistical significance of percentage differences. (SI) |
