Mary Franson on Dayton’s statement to repeal farm equipment repair tax:
“I’m encouraged to hear that Governor Dayton and Democrat legislators have finally accepted the reality that the farm equipment repair tax they imposed and hastily passed during the last hours of session would be devastating to hard-working Minnesota farmers,” said Franson. “I’ve heard from farmers throughout my district who were deeply concerned about the disastrous impact this tax would have on their livelihood. I’m happy I can now tell them this tax is likely to be repealed in special session.”
