[QUOTE="gst, post: 197903, member: 373"] The simple reality is as fritz says until people will control those they elect when it comes to spending WE will pay taxes in one form or another to cover the tab. I am no fan of property tax as it never allows true ownership of property, but the "pox" of the loss of that "chance" mentioned should fall on those that sponsored the measure and never came up with a means to ensure rural/small communities had viable priority in the allocation of needed funds. In the discussion during that measure NO ONE ever told us how far down the line a town like Antler ND would have been behind Fargo in prioritization of funding at the legislative level. The simple truth is Antler could put a 75% sales tax on goods sold there and not receive enough funding to paint the town sign. So do the residents of these small towns and rural communities stand in line begging for the scraps that fall off Fargo, Minot and Bismarck's tables where many do pay increased sales taxes to pay for city improvements?
