Minnesotans Can’t Afford an Internet Tax
Did you know Minnesota Politicians Want to Create Expensive New Taxes on Your Internet?
Email lawmakers now and tell them SAY NO to new expensive taxes on internet.
Lawmakers at the State Capitol are advancing multiple Internet bills that could cost Minnesota families hundreds of millions of dollars a year in new taxes on essential broadband services. The Internet Tax Bills (HF 974/ SF 2045 and SF 4303) are wrong for Minnesota.
Politicians are advancing legislation that would give local governments the power to tack on new, overlapping and unlimited taxes on your internet bill. It also allows them to do it with little transparency, eliminating public notice requirements so they can raise taxes on your broadband and internet services without public scrutiny. This harmful tax will cost you more, allow local governments to create slush funds without public input, and put the brakes on broadband deployment to underserved areas.
As Minnesota families and small businesses struggle with rising costs on everything from groceries to housing costs, it is imperative that we stand firm against efforts to raise taxes on an essential service like Internet. Stand with us and make your voice heard!
