Minneapolis to file “friend of the court” brief in unallotment appeal
The Minneapolis City Council and Mineapolis Mayor R.T. announced today that they will join the lawsuit challenging Gov. Pawlenty's unallotment authority. "Minneapolis has done its best to manage the repeated cuts to LGA," said City Council President Barb Johnson in a statement. "But these cuts have put a tremendous burden on our residents in the form of higher property taxes."
The League of Minnesota Cities and the city of St. Paul have also indicated that they'll file briefs opposing Pawlenty's unallotment.
