Minneapolis Mayor Frey Proposes 11.3% Tax Hike While Cutting Over 100 City Jobs

<p>Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey just dropped the city's 2027 budget — and it includes an 11.3% property tax levy increase, the steepest hike in at least 26 years. The owner of a median-valued home pays roughly $409 more per year, and over 100 city positions are getting eliminated at the same time. This is what progressive governance looks like when the math finally catches up.</p><p>Sean breaks down why this story isn't just about Minneapolis — it's the same script playing out in blue cities across the country. Pandemic-era programs funded by one-time sources, commercial real estate values in freefall from remote work, and a tax base that can no longer carry the weight of what was promised. The result: homeowners absorb an ever-growing share of the burden as downtown building values collapse.</p><p>The episode also covers Minneapolis's police shortage and court-ordered recruiting, the fiscal doom loop and Detroit bankruptcy parallels, Washington state's new millionaire tax, Kathy Hochul's budget desperation, and the widening gap between red-state and blue-state fiscal health.</p><p>Subscribe to @reasonablenews for daily news commentary from a perspective that doesn't pretend the math doesn't exist.</p><p>#NFRP #Minneapolis #PropertyTax</p><p><strong>GO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS</strong> 🌟<br><a href="https://ReasonableTV.com/">https://ReasonableTV.com/</a></p><p>🛍️ <strong>MERCH</strong> - <a href="https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/">https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/</a></p><p>💬 <strong>JOIN</strong> our <strong>FREE</strong> Discord Community!
