House opens hearings on omnibus tax bill in Minnesota
The Minnesota House Tax Committee, led by DFL chair William Kelly, opened hearings on an omnibus tax bill aimed at moderating the expected 20 percent property tax rise next year. The measure would cap increases, keep payroll tax, and maintain a newsprint sales tax while introducing a minimum income tax for wealthy filers. The plan seeks to shift burdens back from businesses to farms and homes and hopes for action by early May.
