Notes from conversations with Senator John Marty, <br />regarding the prospects for a Roseville sales tax bill in <br />the state legislature: NB <br />Would not close the door, not rule it out, <br />certainly willing to listen and� learn more - but <br />he is very unlikely to support. Even with strong <br />support, passage of such a bill has to be seen as <br />highly unlikely. It would be an extremely hard <br />sell in the Legislature. <br />He spoke with the chairman of the Senate Tax <br />Committee: that key legislator is not <br />enthusiastic about the concept, and said he <br />doesn't believe there is support for such a <br />concept in either party in either house of the <br />Legislature. <br />To Senator Marty, the fairness issue is <br />significant: under a Roseville sales tax the <br />burden of the increased sales tax falls on many <br />people who may not benefit from the proposed <br />facilities . <br />For example, Shoreview built their own <br />community center, yet many residents in <br />Shoreview shop in Roseville and may question <br />the fairness of paying a higher sales tax to <br />support facilities in Roseville that do not <br />particularly serve them. <br />
