On a weekend.. the Senate committee hearing a tax bill had a public commenting phone-in period.  I watched it on Gavel to Gavel.   There were about 125 callers. 62% of them supported either a progressive income tax or a sales tax to fil the budget gap along with using a portion of the earnings.  But many of those were only supportive if we stopped paying cash and subsidies to the oil companies middle-men thanks to SB21.  It was the end of the regular session I think.   Senator Micciche and Giessel were on the committee. she was the Chair.  I think it was senate finance committee hearing HB115, the tax bill offered up by the administration last session.  I think a majority, though a slim one, of voters, would agree we cannot depend on oil money to pay it all anymore and we need to step up like every other state but one. And I hear they have pretty high property taxes. Sound familiar?  Therefore I disagree that your statement speaks for the "vast majority" of voters.
