Property Tax Reform Now!
Greetings:
Many of us received bad news when we opened our truth in taxation
statements. But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it may
not be the train.
* Minnesota is projected to have a budget surplus in the short
term.
* Efforts to redesign government and our tax system are gaining
traction and momentum.
As this article,
Local leaders look for way to reshape government,
makes clear Minnesotans at all levels of government and
non-governmental organizations are working to steer our state back
onto firm ground.
Now is the time to make our case to legislators...to let them
know:
* Lake shore property has born incredible property tax pressure
for a decade. This unsustainable tax pressure is forcing sales and
subdivision of riparian land.
* It is past time for a major state and local fiscal system
overhaul including property tax relief for sensitive shore
lines.
Send this email to your legislator and let them know what has
happened to your property taxes as a result of the last budget
resolution. Please look at your truth in taxation notice, and
insert the projected increase into the blank in the email.

GET INFORMED! GET ACTIVE! GET RESULTS!
CLICK HERE: Ask your legislators to help.
If your legislators' name and e-mail addresses are blank, it is
because we do not have your Minnesota address information (where
you live) or because you are not a Minnesota resident. Please
e-mail us your street address, city, and zip and we will be able to
include your legislators' information in the future.
