The big question lingers of how much of the property tax money collected by the 13 Minnesota counties for the pipeline that runs from Kittson County at the Canadian border to Superior, Wis., they will have to refund to Enbridge Energy.
The problem is that the Minnesota State Tax Court has determined that the pipeline property was over-valued and that refunds will now have to be made.
It will likely be some time before the “how much” answers are known. In the meantime, there is concern among county commissioners, county administrators and other local government officials about how they are going to be able to make those refunds.
