This year’s questions cover such topics as publicly funded preschool education for all children, expanding gambling, and adding clothing to the list of taxable items.
Although not scientific, ballot results give a heads up to what Minnesotans think about some high-profile issues. A list of this year’s poll questions is available on the House website, and poll results should be available on the site Sept. 6.
The booth will be stocked with information introducing fairgoers to state government and to help them better understand the legislative process.
The exhibit will be located in the northeast corner of the Education Building on Cosgrove Street just north of Dan Patch Avenue.
It has been a long-standing tradition that House members make themselves available to answer questions and meet with the public.
