The two cities have nearly identical populations, but Omaha (2002 population of 399,357) can operate on $80 million each year of tax collections, compared to $200 million in Minneapolis (2002.) Makes one wonder..... doesn't it? Let's have a pork finding contest - the winner gets honored at the Minneapolis Truth in Taxation hearing on December 8th. Here are the Omaha financial statements (they know how to do it)...... http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/departments/finance/budget2004recc/default.h tm Select Section A, Page 6 for tax collections. Don't forget to mark your calendars - be at City Hall, Room 317 on December 8th at 5:05 p.m. I'll have a big reward for the contest winner. Vicky Heller North Oaks P.
