The 2% set a side helps <br />balance the redistribution of funds paid by our residents and would greatly impact the City of <br />Orono infrastructure funding. Orono is one of 95 cities that represent 20% of the state's <br />population, but do not receive LGA funding. <br />If you have further questions on this bill, please contact me at (612) 414-5055 or by email at <br />dwalsh2(a)-ci.orono.mn.us. Thank you for considering this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dennis Walsh <br />Mayor, City of Orono <br />
