3/8 PERCENT SALES TAX AMENDMENT
The 2009 legislature will determine policy recommendations for the
dedicated appropriations from the constitutional amendment that was
passed during the November 4th general election in 2008. The Clean
Water, Land and Legacy Amendment increased the sales tax by 3/8ths of
one percent.
The dedicated funding is divided into four areas including: 33% for
habitat, 33% for clean water, 14.25% for parks and trails and 19.75 %
for cultural heritage, arts access and arts education. The dedicated
funding will become effective July 1, 2009, and end in 2034.
If you have ideas as to how you think these funds
should be spent, contact Pauline VanOverbeke at 507-694-1630, x3 or
email
pauline.vanoverbeke@mn.nacdnet.net? Questions you may want to ask yourself: "If
I had all the money in the world, what would I like to see done on the
land?" or "What would I like to see done in Lincoln County with these funds and how
do I want them distributed?"
