What happened
The Faribault County Board of Commissioners met on September 15 and considered a proposal to set the total net tax levy for 2027 at $18,975,495. This preliminary figure represented a 14.75 percent increase over the previous year. The resolution passed by a 3-2 margin, with Bruce Anderson, Bill Groskreutz, and Greg Young voting in favor.
