[QUOTE="Fritz the Cat, post: 197897, member: 605"] In about 2013 the county did a property assessment and our valuations went up. That same year the North Dakota Treasury had a billion dollar surplus and the legislature did a 12% buy down. Between the two it was a zero sum game. My taxes were the very same. The billion dollar surplus is gone and now the legislature is looking for an off ramp. It's not that there isn't enough tax money coming in. We have a spending problem. Each time an industry grows like oil or coal or dairy, the government waistline grows with it. Agencies and staff. But when industry contracts agencies and staff remain. In the article Rep. Headland mentions agencies have to make cuts. Watch.....they will cut services to you but are not going to cut staff. On the flip side.....the NDSU Extension Service has been told to cut 3%. They have decided to cut 5 county extension agents. LEAVING it up to "us" to DECIDE or fight it out between the counties. We are as predictable as Pavlov's Dog. Already howling to our legislators how my county agent must stay and these cuts to be unfair. Well played NDSU Extension. [/QUOTE]
