Those of us who were taxed OUT of Minneapolis are still paying for more than a decade of the City's mindless spending.
Last year, handouts from federal, state, and county coffers paid to Minneapolis totaled $187,839,000. It's a darn good thing too - because YOU VOTERS spent $542,590,000 despite the fact that you only collected $306,027,000. Even with the heavy subsidies from US, you still came up short $48,824,000. Let's hear your ideas for funding the deficit - because frankly, I'm tired of paying YOUR bills. This post is in response to Mr. Jim Mork's comment: "Yes it is quite true that MANY people have an �interest� in Minneapolis. For example, there seem to be a lot of surburbanites who have an �interest� in Minneapolis taxpayers footing a lot of costs for a stadium. We who have to PAY those costs figured that out and declined to volunteer. That�s the kind of thing that makes me very reluctant to take the advice of those exempt from our tax bills."
