Commissioner Jeff Johnson said: "If we have to create a new tax because we can't find $4 million in there for the bridge, we need to look at our priorities." Might I suggest he return every county dollar that comes to his district as a start? It's only a show of good faith and honesty.

Hennepin County. Our own little microcosm of socialism in action.

They paid too much for this bridge. A suspension bridge??? Probably about $25 million too much!

UNBELIEVABLE! The bridge costs 92million most of which is covered by the state and Hennepin county wants a wheelage tax to pay for their share? Cut commissioners salaries, benefits and perks....there's your money.

I live in Hennepin County, never go to Minneapolis and already am paying for the Twins stadium I will never use. I AM TAXED ENOUGH YOU FOOLS!!!!

honeypot county, move far away people its a better life

"...860,000 registered vehicles that would be subject to the tax. Minus administrative payments, the tax would generate a little more than $4 million." ---- What are these "administrative payments" and why are they almost $300,000?

How much money was wasted when they rehabbed the old bridge and then tore it down a couple of years later?

A new tax? Really? That's so cool! Way to think outside of the box!

I think most of you missed the part about lowering property taxes. This is just a shifting of bridge costs from property owners to vehicle owners.
