[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 245460, member: 315"] read this snippet of our constitution. Article X prohibits property taxation. What am I missing? North Dakota’s constitution states: Article VIII, Section 2: “The LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY SHALL provide for a UNIFORM system of FREE public schools THROUGHOUT THE STATE beginning with the primary and extending through all grades…”. Article X, Section 1: “The LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY SHALL BE PROHIBITED from raising revenue to defray the expenses of the state through the levying of a tax on the assessed value of real or personal property.” [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] just to clarify the posting I mentioned. Some school lands get posted around here. Nobody knows the rules or they don't care. Not all but some. I've never seen anything but ordinary posted signs on em. In regard to still being able to tax via mills, that would have to be approved by 60%. And they will be receiving the funding from the trust fund so shouldn't be needing any. I imagine that was for extreme emergencies. Or if a local school district thinks they have to have the taj mahal of schools but the state just wants a normal school they could levy. [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] how many acres of school lands have been sold? [/QUOTE]
