Matt! Speaking of property taxes – please refresh us on the Lawsuit in worthless county involving our dipchit county suppervisor Merlin the wizard BARTZ and the county treasurer – something fishy up here and it’s not ludefisk.
MFPRSI fund same thing as ipers -taxpayer based – fat cats.
police and fire don’t get IPERS!!!! they pay into their own MFPRSI pension fund. if your smart enough google MRPRSI and u will see what it is
Wow! I wouldn’t give you 20 million for the whole town!
Its always easy to name call and point fingers when you don’t have facts to back you up
Allen – either your a pubic servants or just of low I.Q. – both beneficial to public servants and elected fat cats.
you don’t have to look any further than the wages of city employees, look what the police and firefighters get, the rank and file employees. look what they pay for their health benefits? What they are going to receive fro IPERS? The taxpayer has ZERO chance
Just wondering, did you overhear someone else talking about the things you mentioned, or do you really know what your talking about. Could you be a little more specific on each subject, I don’t quite understand your comments.
Where are the capital improvements? Most of this is B.S. Crap. And yet they want to raise our property taxes while Clear Lake lowers their’s. This is just mismanagement at every level under the drunk.
Have you ever been to Slippery’s Bar in Wabasha MN,
