From time to time, CRA seeks the pulse and opinion of members about current legislative issues. Your feedback ensures we are doing our best to represent your interests as a valued member.   The impact survey shows increasing support for a statewide smoking ban. When asked in this recent poll, 61% of member participants were in favor of such a ban. That is up from 56% in late 2004, 46% in 2003, and 39% in 2002.    We also asked what members thought about allowing county and regional health departments to set their own license/inspection fees. A resounding 92% of survey participants said NO. That is up from 86% in 2004, and 82% in 2002.   Thanks to the 293 members who took part in the latest survey.
