How You Can Support Tax Cuts In North Dakota

If you’re interested in staying in the loop when it comes to news about North Dakota ballot measure 2 (cut state income taxes by 50% and business taxes by 15%) bookmark this website.  Then visit it.  And while there, sign up for the email news letter.

Later the website will have information about where to get yard signs, and what action you can take in your communities to help support the measure.

North Dakota needs tax relief.  Both of our candidates for Governor know it, which is why they both proposed tax cut plans.  But in terms of cost to the state budget, Measure 2 is the least radical choice that directly reduces the tax burden of all North Dakotans while not also proposing any new government spending.

It just makes sense.

Hoeven doesn’t have a tax cut plan.  His plan is massively increasing the amount of state funding for education with a one time reduction in property taxes. 

What we will wind up with is TOO high state taxes as well as ever escalating property taxes.

We saw a for the time, massive increase in state funding to education.  The Grand Forks school board still raised property taxes, even though enrollments are dropping precipitously. 

At the same time they hired a new superintendent and paid him 10% more than the job he applied for. 

The problem with too high property taxes is irresponsible spending by the locals.  Giving these same locals more money to waste isn’t the answer.
