Renters at Risk in Budget Debate: Call TODAY to Oppose 21% Cut in Renters’ Credit
The Renters’ Credit is an important tool for tax fairness in Minnesota. It provides an average credit of $536 to over 271,000 low- and moderate-income households with high housing costs. 29% of households receiving the Renters’ Credit include seniors and/or people with severe disabilities.
In his budget, Governor Pawlenty proposes to cut the Renters’ Credit by 21%. The average credit would be cut by $119.
The Governor’s budget asks low-income people, persons with disabilities, seniors and other vulnerable populations to shoulder too much of the responsibility for solving the state’s budget deficit. The Legislature must take a different path.
Thanks to lots of work by all of you & our many networks & allies, the Senate omnibus tax bill does NOT include any cuts to the Renters’ Credit! We are still waiting for the House to pass its omnibus tax bill.
Please call members of the House tax committee and legislative leadership today. URGE them to oppose any cuts to the renters’ tax credit
