Dear Editor,
Over the past four years, property taxes across the state have increased by close to $1.5 billion. Many reasons can be given – cuts in state education funding, cuts in aid to cities and counties and changes in the property tax laws. We're going to need broad community-based solutions to turn this trend around.
In an effort to address this issue in a comprehensive way that will benefit all Minnesotans, the DFL members of the House have unveiled a toll-free number and a website that will give every Minnesotan the chance to provide input into this problem, and maybe even help us find a solution.
Minnesota residents can offer their input in two ways. Metro area residents can call 651-297-8391 or log onto Minnesota's Property Tax Comment webpage is at www.house.mn/dfl/ptax/propertytaxproject.html.
In addition, one "Idea of the Day" will be highlighted and shared with the Property Tax Relief Committee on a weekly basis. There will also be a Citizen's Property Tax Relief Bill created that will be based on the best suggestions received.
I'm hopeful that by tapping the ideas of Minnesotans, we can develop a property tax relief plan that is reasonable and offers relief to every property owner in the state. We need to reverse the trend of rising taxes and help property owners keep more of their hard-earned money.
Sincerely,
State Representative Linda Slocum,
District 63B Bloomington and Richfield
