ATTENTION: Special INFORMATION on Local Government AID <br />The Minnesota League of Small Cities (MLOSC) is making an effort <br />to CORRECT the INEQUITIES of the Local Government Aid Formula. <br />Attached is a computor print out of all Cities in the state, showing <br />their "per capita aid" in relation to other cities. You will be able <br />to compare, for yourself, the difference in distribution. Some Cities <br />are receiving substantially MORE PCA (per capita aid) than others, <br />even though their AEMR (Average Equalized Mill Rate) is the SAME or <br />even LOWER. <br />Your "AEMR" and $ per capita" are circled in RED on the computor sheet. <br />Compare yours with others in the same AEMR division; HOWEVER, it is <br />important that you ALSO compare other AEMR levels to see the COMPLETE <br />picture of how inequitable the present formula distributes aid. <br />A NEW FORMULA is presently being developed by the MLOSC and by other <br />Cities that are too large to hold membership in our organization. <br />WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT! <br />Here are some things YOU CAN DO: <br />1. Contact your legislator. Inform him of the inequities. <br />2. Contact the League of Minnesota Cities. Make them aware <br />of your discontent with the inconsistencies of the present <br />formula. <br />If you have any further questions regarding this print out, <br />contact the MLOSC immediately. <br />Yours Truly, <br />Mathias Kapsch, MLOSC President <br />Tel. 218- 827 -3165 <br />Melvin Kaasa, MLOSC Vice President <br />Tel. 507- 726 -2093 home <br />Tel. 507- 726 -2538 office <br />12 <br />
