The session is considered notable for the passage of the "Minnesota Miracle", a legislative package aimed at lowering local property taxes and eliminating wide fiscal disparities between school districts and local governments caused by differences in property wealth. This was achieved by raising state income, business, and sales taxes by $580 million, while the share of school operating costs covered by the state increased from 43% to 65%. The laws earned Minnesota's Governor a spot on the cover of Time Magazine, while also serving as the start to a broader period of statewide reform and DFL dominance of state politics in the 1970s.
