Introduction
Minnesota is one of 46 states that begin their fiscal year on July 1. However, it is the only state that may endure a governmej
shutdown, due to a tax policy impasse between Governor Mark Dayton (DFL) and the legislature.
In his two-year $36 billion general fund budget plan, Dayton proposed to create a new top marginal rate of 10.95% for thos
making over $85,000 in income, with a temporary three-year additional surcharge of 3% on income over $500,000 (see Tal:
1).' Those states that have adopted such millionaires' taxes' on high-income earners in recent years have mostly let them
expire; only Minnesota at the present time is actively considering adopting such a tax. 3
