[Winona Online Democracy] Watching the discussion I think the solution is to have a surcharge on the rent based on the amount the taxes went up. Then people can see what they are paying for and the others can be happy they are not in the middle with no way to pass through the higher taxes.

As a matter of fact, they are paying property taxes at a higher rate than those of us who pay only the homestead rate. Even so, they are entitled to vote here whether they pay property taxes or not. A movement to remove their eligibility to vote could be started. I'm not certain, but that might require a constitutional amendment at this point.
