Both the state and local will have to fix the issue. At least we won't hear " We didn't change the mils your property is just worth more " keep in mind they are taxing us on a fictitious number that THEY THEMSELVES CREAT. If there is a housing crash will they reimburse home owners for over paying their taxes? Now we can hold the locals accountable for their actions instead of them blaming the increases on state law.It forces who to fix the issue? The Elected officials in bismarck that didn't do you right the last time when it came to property tax relief. That seems like a great idea
You didn't answer my question you waffled around it. What do you do when your income doesn't cover inflation ? it is a simple answerSo, what I'm hearing is there is no plan to cover inflationary costs? Once the pet projects and wasteful spending is gone, and all of the dollars are allocated to essential services, where do you want them to start tightening their belts? Inflation since 2020 is over 20%. How about the small town political subs that don't have wasteful spending and struggle to provide the basics as-is? How many years do the political subdivisions go before they don't have places to cut without sacrificing service in some aspect? Again, not fear mongering. Just a question that can't be answered because the measure wasn't well thought-out. Why can't they put an actual plan in place so these questions aren't left for someone else to figure out. I just don't understand how they had years to devise a good plan and execute it, and yet we get this half baked measure.

Can you please cite examples of higher per-student spending equalling higher scholastic achievement. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have to look too hard to find dozens if not hundreds of examples of the inverse of my question.We need all the money going to education we can find.
Well I shouldn’t, because thanks to my decent public education I learned in prob/stat that figures can be manipulated to a desired outcome. But the first google result is an MIT study that showed 20 percent increase in per pupil funding for underperforming schools reduced the number of below-average students in mathematics, English, social studies, and science by 19.7 percent, 17.0 percent, 16.1 percent, and 18.1 percent compared with the control-side means [https://direct.mit.edu/edfp/article/18/1/1/109966/The-Effect-of-Extra-School-Funding-on-Students].Can you please cite examples of higher per-student spending equalling higher scholastic achievement.

Absolutely agree.I'd prioritize parental engagement and classroom discipline over "give us more $$."
I'd rather pay some taxes than have ndgf shakedowns when I hunt or fish, I suppose you think as residents we'd just get to magically skip the harassment?They didn't fix the issue because they didn't have to. They had:
"Well, this is the way it's always been done, there's nothing we can do about it......".
Time to dump that old tired line and make them roll up their sleeves and get to work.
Cripes, we could eliminate state income tax if ND G&F ran regular game checks during hunting and fishing season on Hwy's 2, 200, I-94, 13, I-29, 281, and 83 and while they're at it, actually enforced ANS regulations incoming and outgoing as per WY or MT as well. Might as well go back to check stations @ the airports in Wiliston, Dickinson, Minot, Bismarck, Devils Lake, Jamestown, Forks, and Fargo. Additionally, it can't be too hard to have a look @ some of the smaller town light aircraft fields, see there there's a bunch of extra planes, and check up on a few of those folks too.
The reason the kids in private schools get a higher test score is not because of the private school itself per se, but because the parents that invest in the kid going to this private school take a much larger interest in their kids, and their kids school work and making the grades. One does not equal the other.Well I shouldn’t, because thanks to my decent public education I learned in prob/stat that figures can be manipulated to a desired outcome.

I mean it’s the basis of why so many who can afford it put their kids in private schools.
I defer to your hundreds of studies.
Absolutely agree.
I would rather do neither, but agree. Don't need any harassment when I am doing what I enjoy.I'd rather pay some taxes than have ndgf shakedowns when I hunt or fish, I suppose you think as residents we'd just get to magically skip the harassment?
