MN DFL: Let's raise taxes!

DFL = Democratic Farm Labor Party

DFLers push for several increases in taxes

Despite earlier pledges of fiscal restraint, DFLers in the Legislature are proposing increases in the income tax, gasoline tax, sales tax, liquor tax and license tab fees, along with new levies on lead paint, gravel, deeds and cosmetic surgery.

It's unlikely that all of them will get passed. If that happens, the total would approach $3 billion for 2008-09.

Tax increases on the table

Comment: The Democrats have never found a tax they don't like! The DFL motto, "when in doubt, raise taxes!"
