Dear Chamber Members...

Significant increases in state income taxes are being considered. If this issue impacts you please contact the legislators listed below.

The Governor’s tax and spending increases are on the floor – the Senate and House targets are even higher.  The new 4th tier on the income tax, going from 7.85% to 9.85%, makes Minnesota’s top rate the fourth highest in the country.  Add to that a surcharge on incomes greater than $500,000 as proposed by the House, and our rate rises to the second highest in the country, tied with Hawaii and after California.

If you are concerned how this proposed income tax increase will impact your business I encourage you to contact the following two White Bear area representatives:
Representative Peter Fischer (651) 296 5363
Representative Jason Isaacson (651) 296 7153

Both of these representatives are from the White Bear area. You can leave voice mail or talk to their assistant if they are not in the office.

Business & Achievement Awards
The annual White Bear Area Chamber Business & Achievement Awards celebration is just around the corner.  This event highlights the value our business community brings to the White Bear area.  It is scheduled for this Wednesday, March 27th at Jimmy’s in Vadnais Heights and lasts just over an hour. The Chamber also provides several scholarships to worthy high school seniors. Tim McNiff  KARE 11 Emmy award winning newscaster will act as Master of Ceremonies. McNiff grew up in White Bear Lake and is a graduate of White Bear high school. More information about the event is listed in today’s "Facts". Hope to see you there.
