[Mpls] City sales tax

[Michael Hohmann]

You heard my take on the issue prior to the vote (my [Mpls] Tax Increment
Financing (TIF) policy in Mpls. post of 2/10).  There are alternatives to a
regressive sales tax increase.  It's a matter of spending priorities.  It
would be nice if the legislature informs Mpls. voters whether this will
simply be a trade out for LGA funds next session, prior to the fall
referendum and city elections... such knowledge might influence votes.
