Minnesota: Tim Walz raised property taxes 27% to pay for all the empty buildings in downtown

Journalist Brookerteejones: “This will blow your mind. I’m in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, where people who live in this area, their property taxes have gone up 20-27%. Why? Because they have to pay for all the empty buildings that are in this downtown. Building after building is empty. Shop after shop, no one’s there anymore. The restaurants have closed down.

And who’s footing the bill? It’s the people that live in Minneapolis. They’re paying 20-27% more to cover the lease on these buildings. The taxpayers are paying for these empty buildings. Why are these buildings empty? Well, one reason why is because Governor Tim Walz does not require federal employees to go to work here. They’re still working from home.

Therefore, no one’s coming down here to work. Crime has gone up in this city because no one’s coming to work. Everyone’s left. No shops are open, no restaurants are open. This is what is happening in Minneapolis. It is actually a dying city, and it’s very sad. One good thing, though, if you did come to this city, you’d actually save a lot of money because there’s nowhere to shop. It’s a beautiful city, but it’s a dying city.

Governor Tim Walz, we dodged a bullet not having him as a VP.”
