Counties huddle on new sales tax

Metro counties settle on sales-tax plan

...The county representatives decided that a 63 percent super majority of the joint powers board would be required to select a project for financing. Votes would be divided among participating counties based on population and sales tax receipts. By that formula, if all counties participate, Hennepin County would have 44.35 votes, followed by Ramsey County with 16.94 votes, Dakota County with 12.42, Anoka County with 9.33, Washington County with 6.33, Scott County with 3.39 and Carver County with 2.24. The final five votes would be the Met Council's.
