A state judge has ruled that a law taking more than $6 million from a county and giving it to a city is unconstitutional. The law in question diverted Metro Sales Tax Funds intended for county transportation projects to the city for a pedestrian bridge as part of a surf park plan. A county commissioner described the effort as revenge politics, stating that the funds should be used for projects supported by the people.
The ruling was made by Minnesota District Judge Mark Ireland. Further details about the case and the ruling are available. The county had opposed the law, arguing that the funds were being diverted for personal revenge politics projects.
