minus-square@AlternatePersonMan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink62•1 year agoThat is a lot of money for a state. In Minnesota, we raised sales tax for a county of 1.2 million people for 20 years to pay $355 million for the Twins stadium. This money could fund schools, or public transportation, or just tax cut for the people that actually need the money. Increase the millionaire tax.
