No idea. There was a VNL poll where it was way short at 32.2% but their audience is statewide and manipulated by some prominent anti tax idealogues who shared the poll to a statewide audience, most non Fargo residents. Easy to manipulate a poll with less than 2000. It will be a low turnout election.

If Matt Larson was smart, he would use social media to say "Tomorrow is election day in Fargo." That's completely legal and isnt telling people how to vote. Just providing information.

9 days until the vote. There was an article in the Forum about paper ballots being used so it will take a while to get the results on voting day. I know that certain groups have to stay neutral but those who can promote the vote should do what they can to get out the vote.

Important to remember that even with the extra 0.25% tax, that Fargo's sales tax is STILL under those of Moorhead's and West Fargo's.
WEST FARGO: 8.000
MOORHEAD: 7.875
FARGO: 7.750 (projected new tax if successful YES vote).

So we would get a brand spanking new convention center, huge existing facility upgrades plus all that money circulating through the economy and STILL have lower sales tax then Moorhead and West Fargo. Very clear to me which way to vote.

You guys are way behind the times. Come April 1 we’re going to be at 9.875%.

Isn't that just the way the Peoples Republic of Minnesota rolls?

Sure, but Moorhead looks like Balyor’s chapter of college democrats compared to us commies in St. Paul.

I’ve always wondered how many of the people against it in comments and online polls are from anti everything Fargo people living elsewhere.
