We’d like to introduce our second candidate of the day, David Holsinger running for MN House District 57b as a Libertarian. He won our official nomination at the LPMN State Convention on April 16.
“On our very first day of canvassing, the town of Rosemount in District 57B is holding a special election on a $15 million bond referendum. Voters will be asked to support a property tax increase that will equate to $99/yr (for the median household) to expand recreational facilities – primarily ball fields and a hockey rink. Businesses will see a 1.6% tax increase for the same purpose.
We’re sure there are plenty of residents who won’t be thrilled about getting to donate an extra $99 to fund youth sports when parents or private donors should be footing the bill themselves. There’s also the matter of this measure sneaking its way into a special election in May, rather than waiting for the general election in November, when it would be far less likely to pass.” – David Holsinger
He has also organized several specific ballot petitioning efforts:
