Enter the 2011 MSRPO Name Change  Contest

Last year the MSRPO Board completed a year-long strategic planning process and we realized that our name, Minnesota Seasonal Recreational Property Owners Coalition, Inc. no longer described who we are. Or what we are doing.  We decided to hold a year-long name change contest, offering a cash prize to the person who created our new name.

For most of us, as we write out checks, it is a time to reflect on our state and local governments... for others there is the fear that if property taxes keep going up at present rates, we may lose our property.

Even with a down market, property taxes continue to spiral upwards for many.  With a $5 Billion deficit, the pressure to increase property taxes continues to build.  The only solution is grass roots.
