(St. Paul, MN) — Minnesotans will begin paying a new fee to the state when they have packages delivered to their homes.
In July, a 50-cent fee will be added to most deliveries that cost over $100. The fee was approved by state lawmakers last year as a way to replace gas tax revenues that have been lost due to the increased use of electric vehicles.
The fee is expected to raise about $60-million dollars that will be sent to local governments to help pay for road repairs.
