Ramsey County Harasses Churches In Minnesota

Officials in Ramsey County asked over 800 churches for documents to justify their tax-exempt status.

Alliance Defense Fund has filed a lawsuit. The entire thing looks like a fishing expedition by the County Assessor to increase the county's property tax intake.
