Jay Leno “Headline?”
If it were me writing the headline, I might have gone with one of these instead:
“What’s in the City’s Budget?”
“Parsing Minneapolis’ Budget”
“Property Taxes and the City of Minneapolis Budget”
Somehow, against a backdrop of government stalemates, shutdowns, etc., the actual headline (below) comes across as . . . politically tone-deaf (to say the least!):
“Budget Breakdown: Four Factors That Contribute to Property Tax Increases”
See what I mean??
That actual headline ran on the front page of a local Twin Cities paper (not the Strib, if you were guessing) that shall go unnnamed.
