Letter to the editor: Measure 2 will benefit North Dakotans the most

Opponents of Measure 2 seem to be fixated on fact that nonresident property owners would not be paying property taxes. Sixteen percent of total property taxes are paid by nonresident property owners (71 percent of nonresident property is commercial property; 23 percent agricultural and 6 percent residential). While 16 percent of all property is nonresident owned, 84 percent is owned by North Dakota residents.
