ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — A proposed local sales tax hike that could have delayed a new Vikings stadium won’t go to voters.
A Ramsey County on Tuesday rejected a countywide vote next year on a proposed sales tax hike to help build a new Vikings stadium. That clears an obstacle for supporters of the Vikings’ plan for a $1 billion stadium in Arden Hills.
The Vikings had complained that putting the half-cent tax hike before voters was likely to sink the project and threaten the team’s future in Minnesota.
