You started the show today talking about the commute to work debacle in Minneapolis and wondering how many tax dollars were being wasted on this stupid idea.
Kenny OlsonPANELIST
During the course of the show today, I received two emails from the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board.
Kenny OlsonPANELIST
The first email at 1153, the Board of Estimate and Taxation sets Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board's tax levy for 2027.
Kenny OlsonPANELIST
They have set that number at $100,518,206, an increase of 5.86% from 2026.

Under, uh, Mayor Jacob Frey's proposal, the police department accounts for about a third of next year's property tax increase, according to board Vice President Eric Bernstein.
