Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pigsticker" data-source="post: 451279" data-attributes="member: 209">This property tax debacle is literally F'd. A tax credit isn't enough. There is no reason these legislators should be approving $125 million in forgivable loans to a company that they receive extraction taxes from for developing a fertilizer plant. Or granting $50 million to a library that most residents will probably never visit. ND residents literally get spit on by our governing body. I can't wait to see what horrendous idea they decide to spend the legacy fund money on in the future...wait, I won't have to worry about that because I probably won't live long enough to see any of it spent, because we need to save up $100 billion for some unknown reason or project...as if that somehow makes sense?Our state is literally stupid, or at least the ones who are running it are. I can't believe it's such an unfathomable concept to reward the people who live here and make the state function with some sort of tax relief, when the state is stuffing 100's of millions away annually, but simultaneously giving away the same amount to companies who don't need it. Nothing like charging an extraction tax, only to turn around and give it right back to the companies that pay it...wtf is the point? Our govt is nothing but a bunch of slimeballs who clearly are not interested in helping the residents of ND...And why should they? ND residents made it loud and clear that they were more than happy to get stepped on during the last election when it came to measure 4. Two thirds of voting body pretty much told the legislature that they were just fine and dandy with their property tax assessments. If I were a legislator, I wouldn't be very concerned with this issue after seeing the polls...hell, most of you got schmucked into thinking that the whole state would fall to pieces and descend into hell if (heaven forbid) we didn't have property taxes. Like seriously, here we are in 2025 and we still can't come up with a better system than renting our property from the city and having some guy saying, "well, you have a really nice property, you should pay more", like what!? Or "sorry 80 yr old Edna, you can't afford the increasing taxes on your fixed income, I guess you'll have to sell the home you raised your family in and move on to somewhere else"...Man, the amount of simps when it comes to this property tax issue just astounds me. How is this even an issue at this point, no one in Bis is smart enough to come up with a solution?</blockquote>
