Measure 2: The $1.6 billion question

Measure 2, which would eliminate the North Dakota property tax if approved, could be called the $1.6 billion question. That’s the amount of money in a two-year budget that state legislators would have to replace to help fund public schools, cities, counties, townships — in all, 2,100 units of local governments.

Letter to the editor: Measure 2 will put funds for emergency crews in jeopardy

As a person who normally votes to reduce taxes, I feel it is my duty to warn citizens of the area about the dire consequences of Measure 2. The abolishment of property taxes sounds interesting to me, but it would prohibit cities, counties, school districts, townships, fire districts, ambulance districts and any other political subdivisions from levying a tax on assessed property values.

Letter to the editor: Measure 2 will take control of government spending

There are many reasons why I support Measure 2. Property tax is the most intrusive tax. Property tax is not directly related to the ability of the taxpayer to pay. Property tax discourages capital investment. Property tax continues to increase no matter what. Government officials have not solved the problems caused by high property taxes.

Measure 2 not worth the trouble it will cause N.D.

Whether you like property taxes or not, Measure 2 is a poorly-written mess of a measure, and North Dakotans should vote against it. Though the measure is very effective in eliminating property taxes, it’s also vague on what exactly will replace them, listing at least seven different types of taxes that could do the job.
