  • 2002 Tax Study2.Qxd
    Annual Retail Property Tax Study for the Year 2002 Minnesota Shopping Center Association Defend Property Tax Reform Despite the reduction in the CI rate, retailers in Minnesota still continue to pay on average 87% to 174% more in property taxes in 2002 than in other comparable markets. Reform adopted in 2001 will have a positive impact for taxes payable in 2003. For all commercial properties, including shopping centers, 2002 taxes declined 6 - 7% according to the Minnesota Department of Revenue. Defending this property tax reform is MSCA’s top priority. This is the fourth annual Minnesota Shopping Center Association's (MSCA) Property Tax Study. The purpose of this study is to analyze how Minnesota retail property taxes, on a per square foot basis, compares to similar markets across the country. Minnesota’s high taxes continue to place the state at a competitive disadvantage to other states in attracting retail business and in providing retail goods and services to residents. Minnesota’s high taxes make Minnesota a less desirable destination for retailers when they decide where to locate their stores. Why operate in Minneapolis/St. Paul when Denver, Houston or Milwaukee offers lower real estate taxes and therefore lower operating expenses? High taxes in Minnesota result in fewer jobs, less selection, and ultimately higher costs to consumers, since retailers adjust their prices in any given market to pass through those taxes to consumers. In the current economic climate, raising commercial real estate and business taxes will not spur economic growth in the retail industry and will only hurt consumers in this state.

    Used Eyeglass & Hearing Aid Collection Locations FORWARD LOCATIONS OR CORRECTIONS TO: PDG Bob Hoofnagle, Chief Operations Officer Minnesota Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center 321 8th Ave S Sauk Rapids, MN 56379 E-mail: [email protected] Phone: (320) 266-1611 Revised: November 2016 Lions Clubs International Used Eyeglass Recycling Program Why Collect Used Eyeglasses? • Globally, one child in four cannot see well enough to learn to read without eyeglasses. • By age 40, 90% of adults experience a decrease in their ability to read print and need eyeglasses. • Many emerging countries lack the resources to manufacture quality lenses, and the cost of importing eyeglasses is far beyond the means of the average citizen. • Millions fail to reach their economic, educational, and social potential without access to quality eyeglasses. • The World Health Organization estimates that the eyesight of one-fourth of the world’s population can be improved through the use of corrective lenses. Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month’s wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people. What Are the Lions Doing? In the Midwest • The Minnesota Lions have collected more than five million pairs of eyeglasses. • The Minnesota Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Sauk Rapids, Minn., collects more than 700,000 pair of used eyeglasses every year. • The Wisconsin Lions Foundation operates a regional facility in Rosholt, Wisconsin, where volunteers clean, repair, and classify the glasses by prescription. The facility distributes about 1 million pairs of glasses each year.
