Minnesotans shouldn’t be too surprised when the budget cuts being made at the capitols in St. Paul and Washington, D.C., result in increases on their property tax bills. County and city leaders face an uncertain long-term budget outlook and will soon need to make tough choices about how much to raise taxes or what services to cut.

In a Monday special session that went late into the night, the state legislature passed a $66 billion budget that includes a $700 million bonding bill.

The Minnesota Legislature approved the remaining pieces of the next state budget overnight Tuesday during a special session that lasted less than a day, after lawmakers failed to complete their work in May.
