*Governor Dayton's budget and tax proposals threaten Minnesota's economy 
and your business. *

  * *Huge increases in spending, huge increases in taxes and little
    reform in either.*
  * *End result will harm the Minnesota economy, competitiveness and jobs. *
  * *There are other ways to solve the problem.*


The business to business sales tax base expansion (legal, accounting, 
computer services, consulting, advertising, etc.) raises business taxes 
by $2.1 billion in the next biennium alone.

The new 4th tier on the personal income tax increases the top rate from 
7.85% to 9.85% for taxable incomes greater than $250,000 married joint, 
and $150,000 single, raising $1.1 billion in the next biennium.

Spending reform is absent from the proposal. State budget reforms must 
focus on outcomes and priorities. Lawmakers need to become serious about 
spending reforms to position Minnesota for economic success.

Please contact the Governor, legislative leaders and your legislators 
immediately. Share the impact of this historic tax increase on your 
business and your employees.
