Tax Hike in DFL Proposal

The DFL leadership in the state House and Senate have both offered plans for fixing a $4.6 billion hole in the budget for the next two years. The proposals are different, however, both would raise the so-called sin tax, and raise taxes on the wealthiest Minnesotans. Republican State Representative Larry Howes of Walker tells KLKS News, they would not allow for deductions of real estate and personal property taxes, or mortgage interest rates on income taxes.
Representative Howes says it is better to make more cuts, or allowed video pull tabs in bars and VFWs that could raise $1.2 billion.
