St. Paul is facing a budget deficit of $26 million for next year. To address this shortfall, the city is considering various options, including cuts and tax increases.

Mayor Kaohly Her is still finalizing the budget before presenting it to the City Council. The mayor has indicated that some form of property tax increase is likely. She believes it would be impossible to resolve the deficit without raising taxes, citing pressures such as tariffs and high prices.

Further details on the proposed budget and potential tax increases are expected to be announced once the mayor presents her plan to the City Council. For more information, readers can consult the original source.
