DULUTH, MN - $188 million dollars in gas tax revenue has been diverted to promote motorized recreation since 1994 generating a host of
unwanted effects. Recent increases in state gas tax will increase such diversions to ~$42 million/biennium.
To educate Minnesotans and legislators, on September 22, MRR sent a survey to all Minnesota House of Representative candidates seeking response to five MRR policy initiatives.
