Twin Cities Suburbs Look to Enact Local Sales Tax
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ A host of Twin Cities suburbs are looking to enact local sales taxes to help maintain and upgrade aging public amenities like community centers, ice rinks and city buildings.
Reports say that about a dozen cities, including Edina, Bloomington, Golden Valley, Roseville and Brooklyn Center, are looking to enact a new sales tax on top of the 6.9% sales tax the state already collects to pay for capital projects.
Local sales taxes can vary but they typically amount to half a cent.
The suburbs would need to get approval from the Legislature and voters would have to approve the tax for a specific project.
