Star Tribune | March 22, 2014

More than 1.2 million Minnesotans are in line for tax breaks under a measure Gov. Mark Dayton signed Friday, spreading $444 million in permanent tax relief around the state and giving DFLers who control the Capitol an election-year accomplishment to sell to voters.

Working families, married couples and parents who adopted children are among the biggest winners. Some college students with loan debt, low-income families and those who lost their homes to foreclosure may also be eligible for tax relief, and the bill deletes a handful of sales taxes on businesses that Dayton and the Legislature approved last year.
