[QUOTE="Allen, post: 335473, member: 389"] I don't know why we would think it should be undone, or anything like that. The Legacy fund was originally intended to take money from the Clampetts and build a nice bankroll that would eventually put a good portion of ND's general fund on its shoulders. It would seem to be coming to fruition. Note that $800+ million it put into the general fund for the 2019-2021 biennium. Without the Legacy fund, we would either be just like every other state (and our federal govt) and be running some red ink to support our lifestyle, or our other taxes would have to go up to cover the missing revenue. While I am NOT a fan of being Alaska where we would distribute the monies to the general population via direct checks, I am a fan of minimizing our tax burden. As far as projects go that were mentioned and possibly being wasteful spending, that's a different topic. Those should live or die on their own, regardless of where we get the money from for initial construction. Anyone been to the Cowboy Museum out in Medora? I have, a couple of times. It's not like there's a waiting line out the front door to get in. It would be nice to get to the point where we have no state income tax, or all the extra taxes that states who currently have no income tax use to support their general fund.
