Is that normal or am I showing my homeownership naivete? Can I choose to pay the lesser?!?!

I just happened to see a house in Fridley advertised through my union newsletter. Value? $319,000 Taxes? roughly $1900. What would be the property taxes of a house with that value in Minneapolis?
It is very frustrating to see the differences in tax rates from the city to the suburbs and then to realize that city dwellers are getting hit so hard by the governor's budget. I encourage all of us to write the governor, call, email, make contact somehow and express our opinions about the impact his budget proposal will have on city dwellers and city services.

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).

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
