Hi All! This is strictly left-field, but I am gonna toss it out to see if it rates discussion.
When I consider a major purchase, I always have in mind the extra half a percent sales tax in St Paul versus Falcon Heights and other suburbs. I used to be so anal about it that I wouldn't shop in St Paul at all when the increase went into effect. Over time, one tends not to think about it, and I would guess that 99.9% of purchasers in St. Paul don't even know or think about it. But it sure raises alot of revenue for "Saint Pawl" as Nahmy used to say. I wonder whether the City could get away with adding another quarter percent to the sales tax to help the State pay for our very own ballpark, which would in turn generate it's own additional taxes and lease fees. Just a wild and unusual thought.
