Tax Disparity
Commissioner Murlyn Kreklau and County Coordinator Ryan Odden presented at the AMC (Association of Minnesota Counties) meeting about the tax disparity affecting Wadena and other counties. Odden had sent information to other counties beforehand. Kreklau shared it was a spirited discussion with interest before and after the meeting.
Kreklau explained there is an opportunity to move the discussion down the road as a group of 17 counties are facing the same issues and would like to pursue it further as a high-priority legislative issue.
They would like to get this issue prioritized at district meetings and make it a high priority at the annual conference. . .
