[QUOTE="jer79, post: 421665, member: 573"] Exactly what I've been referencing in my mind as i read through comments. I also remember some talk about how the oil money the state controls ends up in Fargo. Not in Dickinson to pay for a new school. So let's just let Bismarck decide who gets the supposed state money ??? to replace the lost revenue. Will the "replacement money" be based on population or school enrollment or lineal foot of road in the county? If you think 5 acres of land ten miles from Bismarck or Fargo are high now (very desirable plots) I wonder what it'll be without a yearly payment to the county. Probably triple. Already out of reach for all but but the very wealthy, or out of stater investors or sugar beet mafia or farmers with windmills will buy it, but you can't. They'll thank you by electronically re- posting their 12 thousand acres. Just like they've done in the past when our federal tax money keeps them afloat. This a "home run" as i was told by someone with more money than I can make in twenty lifetimes. The same people that think they will save three thousand a year are the people that will be hurt the most by this and will suffer with higher sales tax and diminished services . As Davey says I hope this fails by a narrow margin. Maybe they'll pull their heads out of their asses but i won't hold my breath. [/QUOTE]
