Legislation to <br />split the proceeds 38% metro and 2% greater Minnesota was <br />introduced and included in the `lights on' transportation bills. <br />Our other focus was on the half cent Metro wide sales tax. <br />Last fall we met with stakeholders incbiding the Chamber of <br />Commerce, the MN Business Partnership, transit groups, <br />organizations representing road interests, the Regional <br />Council of Mayors and the Metro Ways Transit Development <br />Board. Metro sales tax legislation was introduced by Sen. Dan <br />Larson (DFL- Bloomington) and Rep. Melissa Hortman (DFL- <br />Brooklyn Park). To kick off the bills, Metro Cities held a press <br />conference with several Metro Area mayors and the bill's <br />authors that yielded multiple news stories. <br />To our delight, metro sales tax language was included in the <br />House and Senate omnibus transportation bills. We then <br />began working with stakeholders to negotiate details of a <br />governance structure for the tax. As of this date, the sales tax <br />language is alive and trucking along in the Transportation <br />Conference Committee. <br />Graphics <br />The graphics on pages 2, 3 and 4 provide a snap shot of <br />Metro Cities' membership and financial status. <br />Metro Cities <br />Association of Metropolitan Municipalities <br />145 University Avenue West <br />St. Paul, Minnesota 55103 -2044 <br />Phone: 651 - 215 -4000 Fax: 651 - 281 -1299 Website: www.amm145.org <br />Staff members: <br />Louis Jambois <br />Executive Director <br />651 -215 -4001 <br />Louis@amm145.org <br />Patricia Nauman <br />Government Relations Rep. <br />651 - 215 -4002 <br />Patricia@amm145.org <br />Sarah Erickson <br />Government Relations Rep. <br />65 1 - 215 -4003 <br />Sarah @amm145.org <br />Laurie Jennings <br />Office Manager <br />651- 215 -4004 <br />Laurie @arnm145.org <br />
