Here in Dickinson, the voters just voted in a pretty large property tax increase to fund some school remodeling, as the oil boom boosted our population and more space and whatnot are in dire need, however the tax revenue this has added to the state budget right here in western ND has been removed from our coffers and put into some type of east river diversion for the greater good, we will take it in the arse like usual.
Just happy that all the tiling of the red river valley farm land will now have a solution, and we western folks can pay for it.
at least a kiss on the cheek would be nice..
