I <br />'1 <br />I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> ! <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> I <br /> <br />(2) <br /> <br />Enclosure B-1 contains a comparison between residential <br />property taxes and industrial, using the same valuation <br />over a ten year period of time. <br /> <br />Question - What is your party planning on doing with the property <br />tax during the 1982 legislative session? Does your party recognize <br />the problems that exist in the current property tax formula, or is <br />your party satisfied with the present property tax? <br /> <br />c) <br /> <br />Workmen's Compensation Insurance - The Commissioner of Insurance has <br />introduced new legislation to correct inequities in this law which <br />have created real problems for the business community in the State <br />of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Question - What does your party think of the present law and how <br />does your party feel about the amendment to the law that the Com- <br />missioner of Insurance is introducing? If your party is proposing <br />a better amendment in what ways will it be better to the business <br />community in the State of Minnesota? The Minnesota Conference on <br />Small Business has gone on record modeling our workmen's compensation <br />law after the State of Florida's law. Has your party given that any <br />consideration? <br /> <br />d) Minnesota's Unemployment Compensation Law - The Minnesota Conference <br /> on Small Business have asked that changes be made in this law. <br /> <br />Question - Does your party intend to amend this law to make it a law <br />that the business community can live with rather than one that dis~ <br />courages business development in our State. We would like to be <br />apprised of what type of change your party has proposing in regards <br />to this law? <br /> <br />e) <br /> <br />The Corporate Personal Income Tax Law ~ This is another law that the <br />business community in the State of Minnesota feels must be changed <br />to create a better business climate. <br /> <br /> Question - Does your party intend to make changes to this law during <br /> the current legislative session which would create a better climate <br /> for business to develop or expand in our State? <br /> <br />2) Businesses - We in the City of Ramsey see the business and industrial com- <br />munity as being divided into the following types of businesses: <br /> <br />Ma and Pa Type Business - This is a business where you have a husband <br />and wife operation and the property tax is a main issue whether this <br />business survives or desolves under our current tax laws. It is also <br />the type of business that is very representative throughout the many <br />small and large communities in the State of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Question - Does your party take this type of business into considera- <br />tion when you are writing property tax laws such as we have today in <br />the State of Minnesota. The workmen's compensation law, unemployment <br />insurance law, depreciation of equipment law, etc. really don't enter <br /> <br /> <br />
