It makes the most sense to tax property, but the constitutionality of that is what we all have a problem with. Thus the push to eliminate it.I have no doubt that govt reps could find something new to tax. They always do, unfortunately.Maybe we leave it up to the counties. Rural can keep it if they want, and cities can get rid of it. See how it plays out over time. In town they will make it back some other crooked way, and rural areas can maintain their tax base if they think it works for them.I honestly can't believe we are having this conversation about raising taxes, in ND, after the windfall we've had the last 10 years. Disgusting and pisses me off. Pay attention to your local elections people and ask questions to your reps. Hold them accountable for their votes. This is all BS, and powers at be think well thats just life suck it up. No, sorry. Not acceptable. They have been wreckless. Plain and Simple.Any rep proposing tax increases needs to be packing their bags. How bout they propose a cut in government. My family will get along just fine with scaled back services. The fact that they see tax increases as the solution makes my blood boil. Our state is "SO RED" they say......yeah right. Bunch of damn RINOS.</blockquote>
