What Does The Loss of a $500 Property Tax Rebate Mean to You?

With a proposed business-to-business sales tax off the table, the state isn't able to fund the property tax rebate.

On Friday morning, Gov. Mark Dayton announced that he is taking a business-to-business sales tax plan out of his revised budget.

The news was overwhelmingly welcomed by businesses, whose leaders had criticized the proposal since its inception. But it also forced Dayton to remove another plank in his budget plan: a $500 property tax rebate for families.

Patch wants to know how you feel about this trade-off. How would you have used the property tax rebate? What will you have to forgo now that it’s gone? Was the property tax rebate even a good idea in the first place?
