In checking the latest information on the Minnesota School Board Members Association (MSBA) there are 15 other districts in the State of Minnesota going out for a bond referendum on August 9. Indeed we are not the only district going out on August 9th for a bond referendum. 

We have had this posted on our website for quite a while, early voting starts tomorrow at the Melrose City Center if you live in Stearns County.

I want to continue to caution you on the tax calculator located on our website.  Attempting to use this for ag land will not give you accurate information.  It states on the website to reach out to Ehlers directly with your questions on calculating the tax impact of ag land. Calculation of the tax impact on ag land is very complicated.  There are numerous factors that go into this calculation.  Here are the direct contacts for Ehlers:

Email them: info@ehlers-inc.com

Call them: 1-800-552-1171

 If you have any questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact me or any of the building principals.
