The revenue apportioned in section 12 must be allocated <br />for the following transportation purposes: not more than 60 <br />percent must be deposited in the highway user tax distribution <br />fund, and not less than 40 percent must be deposited in a fund <br />dedicated solely to public transit assistance as defined by law." <br />Importance of a YES vote <br />In Minnesota, passing an amendment to the constitution requires a <br />majority vote of all people voting. If a voter leaves this question <br />blank on the ballot, that is considered a "no" vote.

By saying YES to dedication of all <br />of the existing motor vehicle sales tax revenue to transportation <br />purposes you can help fund critical safety and efficiency <br />improvements to Minnesota's roads, bridges and transit, Your vote <br />will boost transportation funding by more than $300 million every <br />year! <br />Prepared and paid for by Minnesotans for Setter Roads and Transit in support of Minnesota's Transportation Amendment. <br />400 North Robert Street, Suite 1500, St. Paul, MN 55101 - info @voteyesrnn.org <br />6 <br />ttp: / /www.voteyesmn.org /amendment.html 8/18/2006 <br />
