East Lake dorm taxes on docketWINONA, Minn., July 21, 2003 -- A Tax Court case that will determine what Winona State University students pay to live in the new East Lake luxo-dorms was scheduled for Sept. 4. The WSU Foundation, the corporate entity that owns the complex, claims the dorms should be tax-exempt. The state revenue commissioner disagrees. At issue are property taxes that would be in the $100,000 to $250,000 range, which could jack up rents from $30 to $45. Because rents for fall are locked in at $300 to $375, the Foundation would eat the tax liability this coming year. Thereafter it would be passed on to students.

Tution: State board ain't no SantaST. PAUL, June 16, 2003 -- As expected, the state college board increased tuition 13.3 percent at Winona State and 13.8 percent at Southeast Tech for fall. Slightly larger increases were also approved for the next year. The board, however, said it will cut back on the hikes if state funding improves. The increases, recommended by Chancellor James McCormick, are to help make up cuts by the Legislature to solve existing and projected state budget shortages due partly to the declining economy.
What this means for students: Depending on courseload, the increase will vary among students. With a slightly less than normal 15 credits per semester, Winona State tuition will be $4,548 and Tech $3,442 for the coming year. Fees can be thousands extra. At Winona State, these include the $1,000 Winona State laptop fee. $204 student building fee, $126 student life fee, $50 laptop course fee.

Would later bar hours just delay hooligans?WINONA, Minn., July 14, 2003 -- Perrenial arguments were rehashed between townspeople and the Booze Crowd at a city hearing on whether to let bars close an hour later. History prof Marianna Byman, who lives between the bar strip and the main Winona State campus, crowds of students roaming back to campus roust the neighborhood at 1:30 every morning -- half a hour after the bars shut down by law. "They're very drunk and very loud," Byman said. Extending the closing time to 2 p.m. would just delay the rowdiness, she said. Complaints about noise were noted too from the Kensington, Valley View and Winhaven senior-citizen apartment buildings. Bulls-Eye bartender Christy Blake said the noise is from young people waiting outside the bars at 1 a.m. for cabs to Wisconsin, where bars are open to 2 and 2:30. With a later Winona closing time, Blake said, there would be less noisy loitering because nobody would be waiting for Wisconsin cabs.

Have court business? You'll pay moreWINONA, Minn., July 10, 2003 -- Gov. Tim Pawlenty and legislators may have pledged "no new taxes," but they're nickel-and-diming people in other ways to raise revenue. On July 1, new court fees went into effect statewide. A $3 surcharge was added to parking tickets. The surcharge for traffic tickets went from $35 to $60, this on top of the fine. Sally Cumiskey, Winona County court administrator, who hears people complain about fees, said it was the state, not the county, that made the changes. The new fees were effective July 1.
