July 2007 Minnesota Journal Supplement (How Minnesota Compares on Taxes and Expenditures)
The July 2007 Minnesota Journal analyzed data from the publication "How Minnesota Compares" by the Minnesota Taxpayers Association. Specifically, we looked at other states like Minnesota that have relatively high personal income and compared taxes and expenditures per $1,000 of personal income.
The figures and tables below include what was publishing in the Minnesota Journal on taxes. Below we also include the comparison of expenditures. The research arm of the Minnesota Taxypayers Association that collects this data from the Census Bureau and publishes it is the Minnesota Center for Public Finance Research.
