I believe it is one-half of one percent that is added to purchases made in Saint Paul. The money is controlled by a STAR Program board of community members who allocate the dollars to different non-profit and community development organizations. The $$ is used for things like: building renovations, loan and grant programs for businesses and cultural initiatives.Chris Romanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730534107724077148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8336173835252185480.post-89425162714498908592011-02-20T19:35:08.705-06:002011-02-20T19:35:08.705-06:00I am thinking the property tax refund can work as ...I am thinking the property tax refund can work as an autimatic stabilizer in the economy.
