The Pew Center on the States and Public Policy Institute of California
 released a 92-page report  that shows 70 percent of those surveyed
 in Florida  are willing to raise taxes to keep K-12 education funding
 at its current level, while 54 percent said they would raise taxes
 to keep health and human services funding  at its current level.

 are the two areas Floridians  are least willing to raise taxes for.
 For example, only 25 percent said they were willing to pay higher taxes
 to keep transportation funding at current levels.
