American Experiment economist John Phelan attributed the domestic migrations to the high-tax policies of Gov. Tim Walz.
“Once again Minnesota experienced an alarming loss of people to other states,” he said in a statement. “These numbers ought to wake Gov. Walz up to the scale of the problem and underline the need for bold measures. We should use the forecast budget surplus to cut tax rates, which research shows influence where people locate.”
MNCORA agrees! With a $17.6 billion surplus we are being overtaxed and retirees among others are fleeing!
MNCORA believes neither pensions nor Social Security should be taxed. Retirees have supported this high tax state all of their working years and deserve a break. Especially when inflation is outpacing their income.
