More than 70 amendments later, the Minneapolis City Council passed a 2025 budget late Tuesday night. It comes with a property tax hike that that is lower than Mayor Jacob Frey says is needed, and the mayor is critical of the proposal.

It appears the mayor still does not have the votes to get the budget approved by the full City Council, and critics have accused him of trying to buy votes.

The City Council is one step closer to approving a 2025 budget, but Mayor Brandon Johnson's revised spending plan is expected to face a very close vote by the council on Friday. A pair of City Council committees on Tuesday gave their approval by razor-thin margins to a $17.

After three days of budget revisions and a whopping 74 amendments, the Minneapolis City Council approved a property tax levy increase of 6.8% — the largest since 2010 — to fund the city budget next year.
