•' 27 <br />INFORMED BALLOT QUESTIONS <br />Questions 7a through 7f <br />These questions were designed to gauge support levels for the possible ballot questions after <br />respondents had received information about the current state of and proposals for a ballot <br />measure on athletic facilities, open spaces, and parks. <br />There were several broad patterns observable among the responses to these questions. <br />1. The informed ballot responses were more supportive than in the case of the initial set of ballot <br />questions. <br />2. Expenditures for maintenance were preferred to expansion. This parallels the responses to the <br />ballot measure component questions. <br />3. The greatest change was in the support for new athletic facilities. Apparently, this was due to <br />the new information provided. This would then amplify the apparent lack of information <br />indicated by the relatively higher don't knows in question lc vs. questions lb and ld. <br />4. The most support generally came most strongly from younger and middle -aged resondents and <br />those with children. Generally, respondents from west Eugenewere more opposed and had lower <br />don't knows than other demographic groups. <br />
