COUNTY QUESTION 1
LOCAL OPTION SALES AND USE TAX FOR FUNDING NEW JAIL
Shall Winona County be authorized to impose a sales and use tax of one-quarter of one percent
(0.25%) to fund the design, construction, and related costs for the newly built Winona County
Jail that replaced the old jail built in 1970?
If approved, collections from the sales tax would replace property tax as the source for
repayment of the $28 million in bonds issued for the new jail, plus interest and bond issuance
costs. The sales and use tax would be imposed for a period of not to exceed 25 years or until
enough revenue has been raised to repay the bonds, whichever happens first.
