Glen Stubbe, Star Tribune A bar patron played electronic pulltabs in Coon Rapids. Allied Charities of Minnesota, the trade group representing 1,200 nonprofits with charitable gambling operations, is asking lawmakers for tax relief. For every dollar raised through charitable gambling that the Irving Community Association gives to food shelves and children's programs, it pays more than $2 in taxes. The Duluth -based nonprofit paid $733,000 in state taxes and fees last year, more than double the $306,000 it spent on good works, according to its gambling manager. Page 13 Irving belongs to a group of nonprofits with gambling operations now asking state lawmakers for millions in tax relief to free up more revenue for charity. But the Minnesota Department of Revenue has expressed concern about losing dollars that go into the state's general fund and help pay for U.S. Bank Stadium. The bill has passed through two House committees with bipartisan support, said Allen Lund, executive director of the trade group Allied Charities of Minnesota. "Our mission is to give back to the communities and take care of the children," said Genny Hinnenkamp, charitable gambling manager for the Irving association. "But you wonder, is it worth just being a tax collector for the state?" Hinnenkamp, who testified in front of the House Taxes Committee last week, said some lawmakers seemed surprised that the tax bills for nonprofits were so much higher than the amount left for charity. She said it especially stings to be paying for U.S. Bank Stadium, a facility built primarily for professional athletes, while her nonprofit — which helps little leagues, youth hockey associations and after-school programs has yet to replace its longtime headquarters, lost to Duluth's 2012 floods. Minnesotans spent $1.5 billion on charitable gambling in fiscal year 2016, including pulltabs, bingo and meat raffles. More than 80 percent of that was paid out in prizes by 1,200 participating nonprofits. Overall, nonprofits that use gambling paid an estimated $60.6 million in state taxes and fees levied against their operations last year while directing $62 million to their charity work, which includes the support of veterans, youth sports and people with disabilities, according to the Minnesota Gambling Control Board's annual report. Organizations are taxed on their gross receipts, minus prizes paid, at a progressive rate that ranges from 9 to 36 percent for pulltabs, tip boards and electronic link bingo. They're taxed at a rate of 8.5 percent for other games. "The charities are fast approaching the point where they will be paying more to the state than they have for their communities' needs and missions," Lund told the Taxes Committee. The proposed law change would create a tax exemption for the money that nonprofits use for charitable missions. Nonprofits would still pay taxes on funds they use for operational costs. Page 14 Lund said the proposed change would cut taxes by an estimated $16 million per year, shifting that money directly to charity work. But Paul Clumpings, tax policy manager for the state Revenue Department, cautioned lawmakers that the cost of the proposed tax relief "could be significantly greater than $26 million" and affect the amount that goes to U.S. Bank Stadium. Lawmakers last changed the tax structure for charitable gambling in 2012 to help fund the construction of U.S. Bank Stadium. The first $37 million collected in taxes from charitable gambling is deposited into the general fund, with the balance going toward the funding of the stadium. "The elephant in the room is the 2012 stadium bill. We do not believe the intent of that legislation was to harm charitable gambling in Minnesota, but that is becoming the net effect of that bill," Lund told the Taxes Committee. Rep. Diane Loeffler, DFL -Minneapolis, expressed some skepticism about changing tax laws and said she worries about the expansion of gambling, which can breed compulsive gambling issues. "It shows up in all kinds of social costs in our state budget," she said. "This bill is not about the expansion of gambling," Lund said. "This bill is about getting more money back to your communities where we address needs."

During February, 339 permits were issued to build 717 units, mostly single-family houses and upscale rental apartments, according to a monthly report that tracks housing permits from the Builders Association of the Twin Cities (BATC). That was a 93 percent increase in permits and an 18 percent in planned units compared with the same period last year. The winter rally comes on the eve of the builders' biggest marketing event of the year — the Parade of Homes Spring Preview, which begins March 4 when 481 new houses and 64 remodeled houses open for tours. "With a strong start to the year, our builders are very optimistic for a strong spring Parade of Homes," said Bob Michels, the BATC's 2017 president. Of those planned units (a single permit can be issued to build more than one unit), 385 of them were multifamily, or attached housing, representing 54 percent of the total construction activity. They included a 195 -unit building in Apple Valley, a 128 -unit building in Shoreview and a 49 -unit apartment building in Lakeville called Lakeville Pointe. Page 16 While apartment construction has dominated the recovery, builders are responding to deepening demand for single-family houses, especially those at the lower end of the price spectrum. During February, 332 single-family permits were issued, a 19 percent increase over the same time last year. In many communities across the metro, house listings have been in short supply, forcing buyers who can't find what they want to consider building new. At the end of January, there were just 8,212 houses on the market, a 25 percent decline compared with the previous year, according to the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors. At the current sales pace, those listings would last only 1.6 months. New houses that are affordable to first-time and entry-level buyers are the most scarce. Of the nearly 500 houses featured on the Parade of Homes Spring Preview, for example, only 29 are priced at less than $300,000; 84 are priced in the $300,OOOs; and 110 are priced from $600,000 to $999,999. The imbalance between buyers and sellers has been particularly pronounced in the several Twin Cities neighborhoods and inner -ring suburbs where entry-level houses are scarce and inexpensive land for development is even more rare. The busiest cities for construction during the month were Plymouth, which issued 30 permits, Lakeville (29 permits), Lake Elmo (24 permits), Woodbury (18 permits) and Apple Valley (14 permits). Matt Baker, senior vice president for Twin Cities -based Coldwell Banker Burnet, said that given the shortage of options for new home buyers, the company will focus more on helping agents and their buyers pursue new construction options via a new construction training and certification program. Likewise, the company will train agents to help developers assess market conditions. The situation in the Twin Cities mirrors a national trend. In February, the U.S. Census Bureau said that new home sales during 2016 were 12 percent higher than the prior year, and that during January new home sales had increased 3.7 percent compared with the previous month. In a statement, Svenja Gudell, chief economist for Zillow, said while the increase was positive, it would have been larger if there were more options for new home buyers. "Instead of slow and steady gains, the market needs a big infusion of new construction and new home sales activity, and there are signs this could come as the busy spring shopping season gets underway," she said.
