Lottery-related ballot measure awaits Minnesota voters
Minnesota voters will decide this fall whether to renew a proposal that earmarks a portion of the state’s lottery proceeds for conservation, clean water and parks projects.
A group of more than 130 business, conservation and environmental organizations announced Wednesday that they would campaign together to convince people to vote “Yes.”
Advocates for the amendment said they worry it could fly under the radar with races for president, U.S. Senate and the state Legislature on the ballot.
The hurdle is a bit higher than a typical race because the measure needs to gain a clear majority of votes to pass.
