The <br /> list includes the following issues: <br /> * Increasing the filing fee and requirements for elective office <br /> * Limitations on the DNR permits to remove water from area lakes <br /> * Amendment of the Human Rights Law to provide law enforcement <br /> officers more discretionary authority over lawful stops. <br /> * Amendment to the MSA allotment procedures which currently <br /> require cities to construct roadways according to standards <br /> which may not be appropriate to a particular city and also <br /> allow cities to spend MSA money on any road in the city. <br /> * Additional restrictions on agricultural peddlers in a city. <br /> Several of these peddlers pose many problems for the City, <br /> yet we are not permitted to establish fees to offset the <br /> cost of enforcement of our laws. <br /> * Improved coordination of responsibilities regarding inspections <br /> of manufactured home parks. <br /> * Repeal of the State imposed sales tax on cities <br /> * A realistic, reasonable and truly informative Truth In Taxation <br /> Law which recognizes the budgetary process of cities and does <br /> not present misleading information to residents many months <br /> before a city's budget is completed. <br /> * Restructuring of the property tax formula - residential <br /> properties are absorbing more of the tax burden due to the <br /> tax shift from C/I properties.
