Property Tax Credit

[tikkalover]

I see our new Govna wants the state to give us a tax credit of $1550 instead of the $500 they offered to pay.

I'm guessing when it comes time for this to get voted on by our elected officials. it will get voted down.

You can opt out of pickup but you still have to pay for it from what they told me.

I want to be able to decide, and not pay if I am not going to use the service.
Makes me want to punch that baby again.

They said it would be to hard to single the people out when they went to pick up the bins. So basically everyone pays and if you decide not to participate they dont care. It should have never been put in place. Its a false sense of tree huggery. Love watching the two diesel garbage trucks hitting the same spot. I bet the diesel and emmisions that second truck produces alone would never cover the carbon footprint of me filling that bin every 2 weeks. I am all for green if it makes sense but the two trucks..nope not gonna convince me thats green.

How is that not against a law somehow? Forcing someone to pay for services not rendered…..

Feel the same.
Once that second truck grabs the recycle it goes to a sorting facility where it is hand sorted by however many people, and put back onto trucks to send over to Bismarck, where I am sure it gets sorted again.
It would never pencil out if it wasn't government funded and forced.

Minot City Council to send letter to legislature opposing cap on budget, property taxes​

NOT, N.D. (KMOT) – The Minot City Council did an about-face Tuesday and voted to send a letter to the legislature formally opposing caps on the budget and property taxes.

Property taxes and tax reform are a key issue during this legislative session.

Gov. Kelly Armstrong, R-ND, laid out his tax reform proposal at the beginning of the session, which includes capping local tax increases by 3% and relying on oil tax revenue.

Near the end of Tuesday’s regular meeting, Council Member Scott Samuelson brought the motion to the council to oppose the caps, with a second from Council Member Paul Pitner.

The vote was 6-1, with Council Member Lisa Olson as the lone ‘no’ vote. Olson indicated she was against caps, but the timing of the message to state lawmakers was wrong.

Some members of the council initially agreed it was too soon but changed their minds after Samuelson brought the motion.

Your News Leader will have more on the council members’ discussion on the matter this week.

Vote someone new in you say...............3 new council members were voted in this last November, and their campaign promise was "we will lower property taxes"............... well that didn't last long.
