I wonder if we'll ever see any of this money?

Minnesota Legislators Pass Dedicated Funding Proposal The Senate Committee on Environment and Natural Resources in Minnesota last week voted in favor of a bill to require that one-fourth of one percent of the state sales tax be dedicated to natural and cultural resource purposes. The additional funds, if passed by the full legislature, would go to the voters on the November ballot as an amendment to the state constitution. Revenue from the tax going toward natural resources would be broken down as follows: 34% of the receipts may be spent only to improve, enhance, or protect the state's fish, wildlife, habitat, and fish and wildlife tourism; 22% shall spent only on parks, trails, and zoos in the state; 22% may be spent only on protection and restoration of the state's lakes, rivers, streams, wetlands, and groundwater. This dedicated funding proposal, S.2734, is now headed to the Senate Tax Committee. Note: other similar bills are moving through the House and Senate in Minnesota at this time.
