Coleman re-elected in St. Paul
Chis Coleman won a clear victory in the polls on Tuesday, gaining a second term as St. Paul mayor, The Star Tribune said.
He collected 67 percent of the vote to Republican opponent Eva Ng's (pronounced "ing") 37 percent.
Coleman plans to connect the cities of St. Paul and Minneapolis with a $1 billion Central Corridor light-rail line.
He considers his election victory an affirmation of his fiscal policies in the last four years, which included property tax increases, The Star Tribune said.
Ng highlighted such property tax hikes in her campaign, promising to put a freeze on taxes and fees, the Pioneer Press said.
The city saw record lows in voter turnout, which was at 17 percent, according to an elections manager for Ramsey County, The Star Tribune said.
