There's Still A Chance Of Blocking A Portion Of The Tax Increases

Written by Jeff Davis.

Minnesota Majority has learned that each of the seven metro County Boards must adopt a formal resolution in order to put the sales tax and vehicle excise tax into effect within their respective counties. This means that should a Board fail to adopt the resolution, the tax increases will not go into effect within that county. Nearly 100% of the $1.1 billion sales and excise tax increase will be dedicated to boondoggle mass transit programs which will have very little, if any benefit for residents in some counties. If enough citizens revolt and contact their County Commissioners, there's a chance they could block these tax increases from being implemented in their counties. We have established an Action Alertproviding individuals with the contact information for their County Commissioners.


If a County Board rejects the tax increase, it cannot be imposed upon the citizens of that county. If enough constituents take the time to contact their County Commissioners, there’s a chance that we may be able to block these tax increases in some counties.

Instructions:

  1. Look-up the contact information for your County Commissioners in the table below.
  2. Call each of your County Commissioners and ask them for their commitment not to adopt the tax increases passed by the Minnesota State Legislature.
