[QUOTE="Reprobait, post: 420486, member: 777"] Property taxes are local. city, county, school district, and park board. Without property taxes how are these things going to be funded? How would it work to have all these local things decided on by people in Bismarck? Now if a town needs/wants a new community hall that decision is made locally. There may be a tax increase involved. If that is funded by Bismarck they might as well, ask for the super- duper double throwdown community hall with a pool and indoor walking track. Will decisions be made in the 80-day legislative session or by some appointed board? Will spending go up even more because it is just state money now? Are all communities going to be treated the same? This measure only bans property taxes based on assessed value. Specials would still exist, and taxes could be based on something like square footage or acreage. I don't see how that would be better. [/QUOTE]
