[A Precarious State @PrecariousState]

Minnesota has the #1 highest corporate flat tax rate in the U.S.–personal income and capital gains are also among the top in the nation.

With taxes this high, schools should be strong, streets, safe, and the economy thriving.

We want safe and affordable neighborhoods for all. Minneapolis can help those who face barriers to housing without putting other residents at risk. We need real solutions that work for the whole city.

[Safe & Affordable Neighborhoods Minneapolis @NeighborsMPLS]
