PROBLEM: Out of control property tax increases by City and State. Caused by Gross Fiscal Mismanagement on the state and City level SOLUTION: I am proposing that we the Citizens of Minneapolis organize a legal and proper tax strike. Find out how to Escrow our tax payments and act collectively until we get some sensible fiscal public policy out of this DFL controlled City. It is time that all of those that have been getting public subsidies finally start paying their share. Commercial and Residential Property owners should work together on this, otherwise they will try to have us fight each other. I have a commercial building and a private home too and they are doing it in both places. What do you think of the tax strike idea? Do you have a better one? I am open to other strategies, I just think one of them should Not be to do nothing or say nothing. We need to send a message to elected and public officials. I think this particularly stinks that this all came out right after the elections are over. I'm sure it is just a coincidence.
