[QUOTE="gst, post: 197918, member: 373"] I don;t disagree with what you say. My guess is that within 15 years the representatives from the states 5 largest cities will outnumber all the rest combined in Bismarck. A primarily legislative based funding source for rural communities at that time puts those communities at a distinct disadvantage. To compensate small communities likely will have to increase sales taxes within their cities which will likely drive more purchases to larger communities that will likely receive a disproportionately higher level of funding from the legislature and their representatives. So what will stop these small community businesses from closing their doors at that point impacting these towns even more?
