Why we’re teaming up against this measure

Because proponents of the property tax repeal have taken comments by former Gov. Ed Schafer and me out of context, we have issued a joint statement making it clear that we are opposed to Measure 2.

Poll reveals something about Measure 2

Well, it could be the anti-Measure 2 side’s funding: “We knew going into this that we were going up against big money and powerful people and knew this would be challenging to push,” said Charlene Nelson, chairwoman of Empower the Taxpayer, to Forum Communications.

Letter to the editor: Religious leaders do not need Measure 3’s privileges

In a few days I will be 84 years old. I am a lifelong Catholic and I recently realized that no public issue has ever been so troublesome to me as is Measure 3 on the June 12 ballot in North Dakota. It has been introduced by a group that is led by the two North Dakota Catholic bishops.

Letter to the editor: Downstream residents must be wary of open ditches

Both the West End and East End outlets from Devils Lake will soon be operating, the North Dakota State Water Commission recently announced. That could mean increased flows in the Sheyenne River, as the two outlets will add a total of 600 cubic feet per second to what is already in the river. By late summer that will mean more than 10 times as much water as normal in the river.

Letter to the editor: Measure 3 guarantees religious freedoms for all

Sometimes, ignorance drives fear. Sometimes, fear drives ignorance. North Dakota’s proposed Measure 3 seems to have generated some of both.

N.D. should jealously guard water

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has decided not to push the issue of charging North Dakota users for water from the Missouri River, at least until it has a national policy.

Letter to the editor: Cramer has the wrong stance on illegal immigration

Congressional candidate Kevin Cramer, who is is trying for the fourth time to warm that seat, tipped his hand recently when asked a challenging question facing our country. His answer was to give up and forget about obeying the law, if it is easy.

Letter to the editor: Measure 3 is a great way to unleash endless litigation

Measure 3 amends our North Dakota Constitution to provide that if anyone in North Dakota takes an action based on a “sincerely held religious belief,” our state (for example, state’s attorney, for criminal actions, or labor commissioner, for employment discrimination) would have to prove that our state could prevent that action only if there is a “compelling governmental interest.”

Poll results show that Measure 2 won’t fly

A Forum Communications poll confirms that a majority of North Dakotans are not buying into the phony promises of Measure 2, the proposed property tax repeal. If there is a surprise in the survey conducted by Essman/Research of Des Moines, Iowa, it is that the majority who intend to vote “no” on No. 2 is upward of 70 percent of those polled May 3-8.

Letter to the editor: Ending property taxes will take senior programs’ funds

AARP North Dakota is among a large group of associations, businesses and individuals opposing Measure 2 on the June primary election ballot. AARP joined the Keep It Local North Dakota coalition opposing this constitutional measure because passage of this flawed proposal has the potential to impact numerous services provided by local units of government. Those include emergency services such as police, fire and ambulance.

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.

Ease rules on man camps

“Yes, the man camps cause problems, just substantially less problems than any other way to handle it.” That quote from a comment on a Dickinson (N.D.) Press story sums the situation up.

N.D. must vote smart in a month

Less than a month from today, North Dakotans will go to the polls in municipal, primary and statewide elections. The June 12 ballot will be packed not only with candidates for school boards, city commissions and park boards but also with state ballot measures and, in Fargo, an infrastructure sales tax extension.

Letter to the editor: Kalk is the right person to send to Washington

I first met Brian Kalk when he was running for public service commissioner. I liked him instantly and was impressed with his qualifications and the easy and sincere way he related to people of all ages. My respect and admiration for him have increased over the years as he has served our state with common-sense solutions and diligent hard work The people of North Dakota are so fortunate to have somebody like Kalk to send to the House of Representatives in Washington.
