$18 Billion Surplus Not Enough for Gov. Walz, DFL Lawmakers
Look Out Minnesota, Here Come the Tax Hikes
Among the new proposals are a 75-cent retail delivery fee and a combined 1% metro-area sales tax increase.
In total, five new taxes and fees under consideration will increase costs for businesses and consumers by $5.6 billion in the next four years. And we haven’t even gotten to the actual tax bill yet.
