This is basically the not too involved Minneapolis tax situation as it stands.  Some items that are not allowable deductions, such as automobile expenses from home to work because of outlying locations of most airports, urgency of immediate adequate transportation and lack of adequate public transportation should be deductible expenses in my opinion. This is an item among few others, that I intend to pursue as I did the uniform, but the time seems to run out for a lot of things we would like to do here in Minneapolis.

I hope the foregoing letter will be of some help. There is nothing in there that we don't already know, but there are a few items in there that have heretofore not been allowable deductions in many sections of the country.

Very truly yours,
