...County officials have said the "Big Beautiful Bill" will increase property taxes because it shifts spending for many programs from the federal government to local governments. Fischbach says those shifts don't take place until 2028, giving them time to make adjustments and minimize sticker shock. And while the bill increases funding to crack down on illegal immigration, Fischbach says they are trying to address visa and season worker permit issues to allow immigrants to continue working on ag operations in Minnesota.
