Message: <blockquote data-quote="lunkerslayer" data-source="post: 357261" data-attributes="member: 217">Ok if someone wants to debate about property taxes then tell me who is going to pay for the services the taxes pay now. Espringers is the only one who has given real examples of why the property taxes need to stay as they are. I'm all for change but to make others pay for the services that they will never use is something renters from the city of fargo will have a hard time voting for if their tax dollars are paying for services in backoo. Give me a plan that will lessen the cost for everyone not just the ones who own the land/property, oil taxes is not a long term solution for the whole state. The people of the west are not going to be all charitable for projects on the eastern side of the state, every year for the total duration of oil taxes. You know it we may be north dakotans but as far as the way people think we are night and day different in how we see money being spent. Just look at the example of water pipelines being built to bring water from western part of the state to the east half to build plants that make fertilizer, irrigation, or cites like Fargo that are running out of potable water for a growing population of people who believe it or not don't own any property/land.Believe it or not there are a lot of county roads in the mountrail, ward, Mckenzie, and McLean that get paved with the taxes from oil money, we are talking millions of dollars to pave roads that take a piss pounding, so what I'm getting at is if we get rid of property taxes and the east half of the state wants to replace worn out bridges with new box culverts, in Benson County you expect the people who contribute to the oil taxes to pay for that or raise the taxes on people who don't even use those services. Lets here these examples of how we are going to provide money for services without property taxes. Like I said I'm all for change and I admit I'm ignorant to the whole logistics of the oil tax money and what it's used for. So can somebody help me out.</blockquote>
