Minnesota Senate Passes Tax Bill After House Approval.

The Minnesota House of Representatives passed a tax bill that includes $260 rebate checks for single tax filers and $520 rebates for married couples, a reduction in social security taxes for some, a child tax credit, rebates for renters, and other tax breaks. The bill is now to be considered by Minnesota Senate lawmakers. The most impassioned debate was about a proposed ban on certain e-pull tab games, which Native American tribes say look and operate too much like slot machines. Charitable gaming organizations say they could lose millions if the change is approved.
