REMINDER: Met Council has 3rd highest muni property tax levy in MN

Much is happening in the world of the Met Council, not least of which is Rep. Jason Lewis’s amendment to the FAA reauthorization that would require - heaven forbid - that the Met Council comply with federal law by having its board be filled with elected officials. Some in the DFL seem to believe that’s a problem. But what’s really a problem is that the Met Council is a living example of taxation without representation. I’m not sure how you get more American than that as a motivating principle for action.

From my 2016 comparative assessment report on the Met Council.
