Minneapolis property tax increases? Town Hall meeting on Wed. 08/26/09

Minneapolis residents and property owners get their earliest and best chance on Wednesday to influence the size of the property tax increase they will face in 2010.
That's when the city's little-known Board of Estimate and Taxation holds its annual public hearing on setting the city's maximum property levy for taxes payable next year. It is scheduled for 5:05 p.m. on Wed 8/26 in room 317 of City Hall.

When: Wednesday, August 26th 2009, 5:05 p.m. (be early, just in case)
Where: Minneapolis City Hall, 350 South 5th Street Minneapolis, Room 317

Ramp parking is located below city hall, but you'll need to bring money to pay for parking. Alternately, you can ride the bus or the light rail downtown. The weather forecast is 77º and sunny, so if you prefer to walk or cycle, that is also an option.

Thanks to Michael Tupper for sending me the invite. It's important for property owners to visit this meeting and let their voices be heard.
