[Mpls] Property Taxes for a Mpls Home

[Jim Mork]

Hennepin County sent us a property tax statement today.   The figure seems 
steep at first. But the have a line for what state aids do to it, and those 
aids are about 1.5 times larger than the actual bill.  So, I guess I can see 
what is going to happen if Pawlenty has his way.  Basically, city residents 
are going to see themselves socked pretty hard on their property.  Worst 
part is, of course, that the state tax bill won't go DOWN.  I know.  Let's 
hear Pawlenty offer to cut his pay 20 percent.  After all, if we city 
taxpayers can take a huge nick, Pawlenty ought to be in a much better 
position than we are to take it.

(Dream on, I can hear them saying).

"What 9/11 has done is to pull together the diverse and sometimes 
contradictory military and economic strands of this 'no rivals' policy into 
one seamless approach. This war on terrorism looks more like a war for the 
preservation of US imperial power. That is why countries like France, 
Germany, Russia and China - which have a stake in the dilution of US power 
globally - are at the forefront of international opposition to the impending 
invasion of Iraq."  --Times of India
