Kristin Robbins, a Minnesota state legislator, has recently posted several messages on her social media account discussing local politics and community events.
On October 5, 2025, Robbins expressed support for the University of Minnesota football team by posting: “Let’s go, @GopherFootball! RTB! https://t.co/NkpSOO6N2b”.
Two days later, on October 6, 2025, Robbins addressed concerns about property taxes in Minnesota. She wrote: “Minnesotans cannot afford higher property taxes. This is driven by @Tim_Walz failures during COVID & the riots. As businesses burned & fled downtown, the portion of property taxes paid by commercial property fell, increasing the burden on homeowners.
@Hennepin also drives https://t.co/vZsbMEw2cB“. In this post, she attributes rising property tax burdens to economic disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent civil unrest in Minneapolis. Robbins criticizes Governor Tim Walz’s handling of these crises and points to a shift in tax responsibility from commercial properties to homeowners as businesses left downtown areas.
On October 7, 2025, Robbins commented on her participation at a local political meeting: “Fun evening meeting with Mille Lacs County Republicans! Thanks for all of the great conversations & questions. Everyone is united – No 3rd Term for Tim Walz! https://t.co/e8Vs1s3CFF”.
These statements reflect ongoing debates within Minnesota regarding fiscal policy and political leadership. During the COVID-19 pandemic and following protests in Minneapolis in 2020, many businesses faced significant challenges or closures, leading to changes in commercial activity and shifts in municipal revenue sources.
