Page 2 <br /> <br />November 30, 1984 <br /> <br />~he Honorable Connie Levi <br />Minnesota Rouse of Representatives <br /> <br />~he small (i.e. Ma and Pa) business; the basis of <br />the Minnesota economy. Ail our oongressman overlook <br />these businesses and yet these types of businesses are <br />the backbone of the nation. I can assure you, in <br />running my business, the oorporate taxes and workers' <br />oompensation taxes are not a problem, but the property <br />taxes are a M~JOR probl~. If I am treated fairly by <br />the legislators, eventually I will be able to pray <br />corporate taxes. I believe that there are many other <br />individuals in this same position. <br /> <br />As a result of these concerns, I have been active in the Ramsey <br />Business Association and the Taxpayers' Power Block. As you know, <br />these organizations are dedicated to the restructuring of the <br />property tax laws and an improved business climate in Minnesota. <br />I feel that these organizations are a waste of business' time; we <br />are trying to do in our spare time what legislators are being <br />paid to do and should be doing full time. <br /> <br />~he citizens of Ramsey do expect a lot from our lawmakers and we <br />do expect to be treated equitably. One thing to remember is that <br />quality of life begins with a job for every able and willing person. <br />You have the responsibility for ensuring that the businesses are <br />here and have the ability to keep growing to create new <br />opportunities for ~ployment. ~his is one of the reasons I work <br />so hard for the Republican Party. <br /> <br />I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on and proposals for <br />these issues. I would also like to meet with you to discuss <br />these same concerns. <br /> <br />thank you for your time and consideration. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Arnold Cox <br /> <br />Encl: <br /> <br /> <br />
