State Response to Challenges - Bonding

Local Bridge Bonding◦Last year $30M

State Response – Chapter 152Gas Tax Increase – 8.5 centsTab Fee Increase – removed capMVST 60%/40% split roads/transitConstitutionally Dedicated
23
Solution – Leverage Constitutionally Dedicated Streams
Increase State Aid and other targeted state funding – gas tax, tab fees, motor vehicle sales tax
Sales tax on gas- not constitutionally dedicated but automatically indexes

Bonding – General Obligation and Truck Highway◦Low Interest Rates◦Lack of options in many Greater MN Counties◦Could especially help with ten ton roads◦Trunk Highway Bonds – more revenue would
raise bonding capacity

2013 AMC Legislative Initiatives◦New revenue, a balanced, comprehensive
package◦Local Government Tools:
Expanding wheelage tax statewide Removing the referendum requirement for the
Greater MN Sales Tax for local roads and bridges
