However, you failed to mention How it will affect <br />commercial, industrial, and rental properties in the S~ate of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Consequently, it is in this light that we think the State of Minnesota has <br />to revamp its total tax. structure to create fairness in it. In your letter, <br />you addressed only the homeowner as the one who could suffer from taxes. <br />It should be noted that we have commercial, industrial, and rental property <br />which suffer much more than the homeowner will in the situation you men- <br />tioned. <br /> <br />It is the Ramsey City Council's considered opinion that if nothing is done <br />to alleviate the property tax burden on commercial and industrial properties, <br />these type businesses wi'Il be forced to leave our great State of Minnesota. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />CITY OF RAMSEY <br /> <br />Thomas G. Gamec <br />Mayor <br /> <br />TGG:sb <br /> <br />Councilmember Arnold Cox <br /> <br />Councilmember Allen Sorteberg <br /> <br />Councilmember Gary Reimann <br /> <br />Councilmember Sue Van Wagner <br /> <br /> <br />
