Highland Nursery in St. Paul, Minn., is fighting an enormous property tax increase. The store’s taxes skyrocketed from $500 last year to $6,000 this year. Check out this report from KAALtv.com for more details.
I’ve visited this garden center twice and wrote about it in the January 2008 issue of Garden Center. (You can read about it here, here and here.) Owner Sue Hustings has done a great job creating gardener’s paradise in the middle of the city.

According to your past report this nursery does 1.5 million in sales. They are asking their customers to sign a petition to help keep them in business because of a $6000 tax bill? Really?
This sounds a little like the GM and Ford execs going to Washington and asking for help.
Maybe they should just consider themselves lucky that they paid next to nothing in property taxes in years past.
