Ed Reynoso's Met Council to raise your property tax

In typical commie fashion the Twin Cities unelected Met Council raised our property taxes.

Citing a need for more money to fund community development, the Metropolitan Council Wednesday approved a 2 percent property tax increase for next year.

The Met Council is an appointed body by Governor Mark Dayton. It includes Teamsters Joint Council 32 DRIVE Representative Ed Reynoso. He's a Teamsters paid lobbyist who makes $115,000 a year from members dues and an additional $38,000 a year from the Met Council (taxpayer money) who just cost working families another tax increase. Mr. Reynoso sits on the Environment and Transportation Committees. The very ones who gave us the tax increase.

Where was this dedicated Teamster lobbyist when the Minnesota Government shut down last summer? At the Capitol trying to help shut out workers? No, he was in Las Vegas! It was more important for him to help out Hoffa.

No one voted for you, this is the picture of taxation without representation. This is the picture of fat cats once again going after working peoples money. How much will Ed Reynoso and the Met Council cost us in their fight for socialism? And I thought he was all about "taxing the rich."
