CEO Comments

“Minnesota may have larger taxes than many states, but it has a very diverse economy that helps the state and region suffer less on the downturns. It is the host of 17 Fortune 500 companies; not bad for a state of their population size.”

“Minnesota’s Governor Dayton is responsible for income and estate taxes that are the highest in the USA. His assets are all maintained in South Dakota trusts free of Minnesota state income and estate taxes. He has done everything in his power to increase Minnesota’s taxes on business and worker’s income.”
