Re: Fargo approves December 5th special election for Fargodome expansion, remodel
My vote will be no… we all pay enough tax
I don’t honestly see what I gain… maybe a seat tax could fund it

IMHO, this will make attending events more enjoyable just with the additional bathrooms and concourse space.

While i am definitely not for the overall theory that raising taxes solves problems; complaining about the cost of this doesn’t make sense to me. Of the 131 million dollar price tag; 40 million is being paid by the Fargodome, part of it is being paid by a 3% increase in the lodging tax, which would almost all be paid for by non residents, and a 1/4 cent city sales tax. Do the math. If you spend $100, you would pay an additional 25 cents more then before. This is not a massive tax burden people.

I am with unbison at this point. I will be voting no. We aren't going FBS anytime soon anyways. Why do I care that press boxes get their own bathrooms plus the no wifi is BS.

It would be interesting to me to see projections on the potential increase in revenue to the city, what that does to the overall tax base and what the overall gain is to city residents vs. what a typical resident would likely pay. My guess is that the extra couple hundred bucks that would be paid by a quarter cent sales tax would be offset dramatically by the revenue that helps the overall tax base.

NDSU cant say vote yes, but they can present the information as fact and inform people about the vote
Would like to see some big social media accounts like Bison Report and
https://twitter.com/BISONATION spread the word
Why don't you start a poll on here?

Your poll.....do BV'ers outside of Fargo get to vote? I live in sioux falls; I stay in motels 4 or 5 times during the football season, so I guess the 3 % motel tax effects me. I'm not going to say how I would vote.
