The reality is that it's an issue, 217 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 3: said DFL Representative Julie Green, co authoring the bill. I 218 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 3: really had to think about it, like is this am 219 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 3: I okay with being in this work and doing this work, 220 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:00,640 Speaker 3: said Representative Green about her concerns that she had as 221 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 3: a first term lawmaker.

In another message 345 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 3: that same day, Welsh reportedly expressed her anger doing that 346 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 3: thing with my fingers about the federal funding being cut 347 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 3: for daycare and called it daymouth a racist. 348 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: Piece of blank goodness. 349 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 3: Welsh said that she would find Damouth wherever she was, 350 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 3: according to the complaint, noting the state troopers visited Welsh's 351 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,520 Speaker 3: home in early January to discuss the voicemails with her. 352 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 3: At first, she agreed to speak with the law enforcement 353 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 3: officers as I was talking about earlier in the show, 354 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 3: two things gonna be the same at once. A person 355 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 3: can live a good, normal life, but can also go 356 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:55,719 Speaker 3: and act violently or speak violently. I'm sure the family 357 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: members of Rachel Marie Welsh would say, this is really 358 00:20:58,080 --> 00:20:59,960 Speaker 3: out of her character. She doesn't do any of these 359 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 3: things to me. She doesn't leave these voicemails for me. 360 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 3: Her demeanor changed from friendly to annoyed in short when 361 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:13,080 Speaker 3: they law enforcement officers said they were there to discuss 362 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 3: the voicemails. According to the complaint, Welsh acknowledged to leaving 363 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 3: the voicemails, but asked the troopers to leave when they 364 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,479 Speaker 3: asked her if she planned to harm Daymoth. The complaint adds, 365 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 3: despite the visit from law enforcement, Welsh allegedly continued calling Damuth, 366 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 3: who was obviously running for governor, and said that she 367 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:34,919 Speaker 3: would be uh be there every step of the campaign. 368 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 3: In a January eighth voicemail, Welsh reportedly demanded the removal 369 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:42,600 Speaker 3: of federal immigration agents from the state and called Damoth 370 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 3: a trader. According to the story from Alphinous, if Damuth 371 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,239 Speaker 3: doesn't show us speck of remorse of feeling bad, if 372 00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 3: she doesn't come out supporting our state, she is a trader. 373 00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 3: She is a trader. And what do we do with traders? 374 00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,160 Speaker 3: What do we do to traders back in the day. 375 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to brush up on my history because 376 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 3: you know what, you guys, you guys are making it 377 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 3: very obvious that you're okay with Minnesotans dying, but you 378 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 3: are forgetting. You are also Minnesotan's, Welsh said. According to 379 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 3: the transcript, the complaint describes additional voicemails that she left 380 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: or referencing bulletproof glass, saying Daymoth was going to fall 381 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,440 Speaker 3: and that Welsh would be at the end of that barrel, 382 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 3: and claimed that Damouth was responsible for raping children and 383 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 3: murdering babies. Oh and February twenty fourth voicemail, wels Shed 384 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 3: said that she planned to meet Damoth on the campaign 385 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,520 Speaker 3: trail and look forward to showing Damoth how good I 386 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 3: have been getting at my two A classes and I 387 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 3: just know Republicans love guns and they love shooting. 388 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: So I wanted to show you. 389 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 3: I actually have a piece of paper and I can 390 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,280 Speaker 3: send you a picture to show you how good of 391 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 3: a marksman I am. It was my first time like 392 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: shooting round upon round. It was fun. I'm taking my 393 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 3: mom there. This person's off their rocker. Daima told police 394 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 3: that Walsh's threats have affected her significantly, filed a restraining 395 00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: order on her on February twenty fifth. The Minnesota State 396 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 3: Patrol has also obtained a temporary Extreme Risk Protection order 397 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 3: against Welsh. The ERPO petition filed by the state says 398 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 3: Welsh is also calling and leaving messages for Republican Representative 399 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 3: Patty Anderson. So I haven't heard any Democrat response to this. 400 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 3: I'm sure they're very concerned about it. I have no 401 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:38,360 Speaker 3: doubt at all. Again, it sounds like some of my talkbacks. 402 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 3: Let's see if I got any new ones. Certainly got 403 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 3: a lot earlier this morning, all right. The cost of 404 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: rising property taxes becoming one of the biggest issues in Minnesota. 405 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: Two months ago. 406 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,359 Speaker 3: In Alpha New's RMG research poll of registered voters found 407 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 3: here in Minnesota, the sixty percent of respondents were very 408 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 3: concerned about the rising property taxes. Another twenty percent of 409 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 3: the surveyed said they are somewhat concerned about the rising 410 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 3: property taxes. The peace from Alphineus goes into the seven 411 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 3: point seventy nine increase, so its overall property tax levee 412 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 3: that's in Hennepin County, Ramsey County eight point twenty five 413 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: percent increase, and NOKA approved a nine point four percent increase. 414 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,680 Speaker 3: More than two hundred and fifty mayors in recent months 415 00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,240 Speaker 3: signed a letter saying unfunded mandates from state government are 416 00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 3: forcing them to choose between cutting services or increasing property 417 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 3: taxes for their residents. This week, Republican lawmakers in the 418 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 3: Senate did unveil a package of tax relief bills. One 419 00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,679 Speaker 3: proposal from Senator Michael Krhan would blunt the rapid pace 420 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 3: of the property taxes. Crewhin said in twenty six a 421 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: long preliminary property tax levies are set to increase by 422 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 3: nearly one billion dollars nearly seven percent over the twenty 423 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 3: twenty five levels, adding, some of my constituents are reaching 424 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:57,200 Speaker 3: out to me because they've seen a double digit increase 425 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 3: year after year, calling the trend unsustainable and saying that 426 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 3: home ownership is out of reach for too many people. 427 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 3: He's introducing legislation that would tap property taxes. Under the proposal, 428 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:12,320 Speaker 3: any locality with a population greater than twenty five hundred 429 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 3: would not be allowed to raise property taxes beyond the 430 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 3: rate of inflation plus fifty percent of population growth. Now, 431 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 3: current law requires school districts to gain public approval before 432 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 3: they adopt property tax increases. Kruhin's bill would also require 433 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: all Minnesota major population centers to get public approval before 434 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 3: implementing a larger property tax increase. Listen, I'm skeptical of 435 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 3: any DFL House members signing off on anything the GOP proposes. 436 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 3: I'll give you an example of this in just a moment, 437 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 3: Kruhin told reporters this bill to cap the property taxes, 438 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 3: along with pausing any new mandates on our communities, will 439 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 3: help keep the American dream affordable in our state. Additionally, 440 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: he said, addressing the property taxes will require a restriction 441 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: on property tax increase and a pause on new mandates 442 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,640 Speaker 3: issued to local governments. He noted the Senate Republicans are 443 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 3: committed to pausing new mandates for local governments. 444 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 5: Now. 445 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,560 Speaker 3: Alongside this proposed law by Cruin. Republicans also introduced the 446 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 3: legislation to end the taxes on tips in overtime. Enacting 447 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 3: those changes would ensure the state law conforms with identical 448 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 3: changes that were made to federal law via the One 449 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: Big Beautiful Bill. The Senate Republican Caucus has also introduced 450 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 3: a bill to lower the Minnesota vehicle tabs. Those are 451 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 3: out of control as well. But listen to the ridiculous 452 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:44,879 Speaker 3: argument put forward by DFL Representative Andy Biggs regarding the 453 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 3: tax on tips. Democrats are currently arguing against that Representative 454 00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 3: Kristin Robbins response to excuse me, Andy Smith, my apologies. 455 00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 3: This is Representative Andy's and his thoughts. This is the 456 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 3: guy who had a business and ended up going bankrupt 457 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: and allegedly stiffed a bunch of creditors who borrowed money 458 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 3: from him. And apparently he's concerned about the overall impact 459 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: that the no tax on tips and overtime would bring. 460 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 8: That's good to clarify, because I've talked to constituents who 461 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:25,040 Speaker 8: are like, this is great. You know my you know, 462 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 8: if they made thirty dollars an hour after overtime, you 463 00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,639 Speaker 8: know they're forty five dollars an hours going to be deducted. 464 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 1: It's just that fifteen dollars. It's not every overtime. 465 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 8: Dollar you make is going to be deducted. I also, 466 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 8: and this will be a theme here again, we're treating 467 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:46,640 Speaker 8: workers at the same level very very differently specifically in 468 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 8: this bill. On ask the question, imagine two workers that 469 00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 8: work sixty hours a week. One works forty hours at 470 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 8: a job that he gets paid overtime, and then twenty 471 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,000 Speaker 8: hours he gets for overtime, so sixty hours there. Another 472 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:02,639 Speaker 8: one is working two jobs, forty hours in one job 473 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 8: and then maybe on the weekends. 474 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: Takes takes another job. 475 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,640 Speaker 8: Does this bill treat those two sixty hours of work, 476 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:15,120 Speaker 8: Let's say they're the same exact pay. Does this bill 477 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,240 Speaker 8: treat those two workers differently? 478 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 1: Pure robins. 479 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,760 Speaker 12: Yes. And I would just like to point out members 480 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 12: on this broad discussion of carveouts for certain types of 481 00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:30,800 Speaker 12: income that I mean, I hear you, but I've been 482 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:35,480 Speaker 12: fighting for broad tax reform and tax cuts that would 483 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,520 Speaker 12: affect everyone for eight years now. So if you want 484 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 12: to instead just lower the lowest tax rate, our tax 485 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 12: our lowest tax rate in this state is five point 486 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 12: three five percent that is higher than the highest tax 487 00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 12: rate in thirty other states. We are completely incompetitive. So 488 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:56,920 Speaker 12: what I'm trying to do here is help a group 489 00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:00,920 Speaker 12: of workers who get over time they are working extra, 490 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 12: they get. It's a productivity thing. It's also competitiveness thing, 491 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,400 Speaker 12: especially along our border communities. And I wish we were 492 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 12: lowering taxes for everyone. That would be my ideal. I agree, 493 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 12: but that's not where we're at. And conforming with federal 494 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,280 Speaker 12: tax policy on no tax on tips and no text 495 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:25,120 Speaker 12: on overtime helps a substantial number of hardworking middle class 496 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 12: workers in Minnesota, and it's a place to start to 497 00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 12: get more money in workers pockets. 498 00:29:34,040 --> 00:29:35,040 Speaker 1: But they're not going to go for it. 499 00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 3: They're not going to go for anything that the Republicans 500 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: want to propose with the divided House. They will twist logic, 501 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,480 Speaker 3: they'll come up with our own standards of which will 502 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 3: guide whatever decisions that they go and make.
