Sales tax, other projects expected on ballot

A sales tax in St. Paul and several other projects around the Twin Cities will be on the ballot for Minnesotans Tuesday.

St. Paul voters approved an increase in the sales tax to help the city pay for street repairs in the city. 

A 2019 report laid out the bleak state of the city's roads. Last year, officials estimated a sales tax increase of one percentage point would generate nearly $1 billion over 20 years. Making the expensive and difficult road repair project more feasible.

Voters approved the measure by a 60% to 40% margin. 

Here are the results of the St. Paul ballot question.
