Thank God Tim Walz did not give in to Minnesota Republicans to return much of that surplus back to taxpayers in 2019. It is because of Minnesota's higher taxes, we are able to afford the nicer things, not suffer like states with LOW taxes, and maintain sensible spending on services that are needed.

Despite it all, Minnesota ranks in the Top 5 BEST places to live and do business in. Wonder why?
