Key Findings: Arlington Overall (cont.)
Getting Money’s Worth in Tax Dollars (“Yes”)
•

•
Like last year, slightly more than half of
the residents feel that they are getting
their money’s worth for their tax dollars.
Results for this measure were down
significantly in 2018 from a fairly steady
historical trend.
The majority of residents continue to
prefer to keep taxes about where they
are. However, the opposite sentiment—
a preference to decrease taxes and
services—saw a significant increase.
Primary sources of information about
the City of Arlington remain the internet,

website and Facebook page, along with
