A new 608.1 million tax package moves through the Minnesota Senate committee with a Friday or Monday floor vote anticipated. The measure raises income and sales taxes, widens the corporate tax, reclassifies some property, and aims to cut statewide property taxes 25 to 30 percent next year while funding local schools at 1.2 billion over two years. The plan risks Conservative opposition in both chambers and faces likely revisions in a conference committee.
