    Antelope Tag 9-C

    Landowners lose, big time. They are setting themselves up to not be in any kind of position to curry favor from the voters.

    insurance paying for flood

    Start with a miserably cold and wet winter that leaves us with 4-6 inches of water equivalent in the snowpack and follow it with a very sudden warm spell in mid March that brings a 2-4 inch rain from Dickinson up to Garrison. and over to Steele. A sudden loss of Heart Butte dam would...

    insurance paying for flood

    I like you as well, but I am telling you as someone who works with water that there is non-trivial risk of flooding in that area and I would be very uncomfortable as a homeowner. One can believe what they wish, but the numbers are what they are,

    insurance paying for flood

    I would disagree with it being "meaningless". It represents the volume of water that can be stored up above an icejam and the potential for it to fail catastrophically. Could Garrison have tamed that event? Yes, but I am not convinced it would have been able to prevent catastrophic flooding...

    From the regulations link under Pronghorn hunting: Gratis – Gratis licenses are available to North Dakota residents who own, or lease for agricultural purposes and actively farm or ranch, at least 150 acres of land located in an open hunting unit. These licenses are valid only upon land...

    insurance paying for flood

    Yes, by one year. They started filling Sakakawea in 1953. Your point of it being pre-dam is correct in that there is a very good chance the dam would have lessened the problem. The gage at Williston recorded 170,000 cfs and there was another 40,000 cfs coming from the Little Missouri...

    insurance paying for flood

    April 6th, 1952 saw an icejam up by Wilton catastrophically release and send 500,000 cfs through the Bismarck area. In 2011, we hit about 155,000 cfs at the peak in Bismarck. A flood of roughly 3.2 times the size of the 2011 flood will certainly cover the entire flood plain. Even if that...

    Yes, those are the rules of a gratis tag. So, you are correct in that 52 landowners in the unit believe they have a chance to fill a pronghorn tag on their land. Or something like that.

    Given that 52 of the 55 tags in Fritz's unit are Gratis Tags, what are the chances one of the three license holders are on Nodak Angler? https://gf.nd.gov/licensing/lotteries/summary/pronghorn

    Property Tax Credit

    I would suggest you greatly underestimate the ability of businesses to take advantage of any tax change. They will maximize any advantage they can find.

    insurance paying for flood

    Yeah, the article I read specifically mentioned the flood/hurricane role in the insurance cost. As far as the property details...it didn't sound special as they described it only as a 2,000 sqft condo. Which isn't exactly a mother-in-law shack, but is also not exorbitant in size.

    insurance paying for flood

    Flood insurance went through a number of changes over the past 10-15 years. Back then Congress stated they wanted to get out of the business of subsidizing flood insurance policies and that the insured were to start paying the actuarial cost of insuring said property. In general, I would think...

    Property Tax Credit

    Right, and no sales taxes are collected on money saved. The poor who live paycheck to paycheck spend every penny they get, the rich do not...even if they do spend a lot more than our poorest. In general, I get the concept of people not liking to pay taxes. However, I get screwed EVERY DAMN...

    Weather...

    Not a lot of wind. But yes, harvest is underway in Burleigh and surrounding counties. LOL, I watched a lot of videos of yesterday's chaos. Probably the worst street flooding I've seen in Bismarck since I moved here in the early 2000s.

    Property Tax Credit

    I believe the brain child of this anti-property tax initiative pays a little over $100k/year into Burleigh county. Remember, it's not just little old ladies and farmers who pay property tax. Business owners do as well, and they are well known to pinch pennies in furtherance of their profits.

    Yep, while not on par with yesterday, I'd expect there will be some street flooding again in Bismarck. In, about 30 minutes...if'n I had to guess.
