Why is a candidate for a government bureaucracy position weighing in on tax policy which has nothing to do with the functions of the position he is running for?
The North Dakota State Treasurer’s job is to collect taxes in the most efficient and cost effective manner possible; PERIOD!

This is just more Dem deception.  I’m still waiting for that Clinton “middle class tax cut”.  Dems try to make political hay by criticizing Republican spending, then when they get in, they jack up taxes and spending.

Save America; boycott the MSM.

You’re right Kevin, but I think I’d rather have someone in favor of returning our money to us than have someone who isn’t.

Right now Vance is making a strong case to support him rather than Kelly Schmidt who as far as I am concerned is a Hoeven sycophant. 

There is no Republican in the race.

What’s going to happen to US industry when the global warming extremists like John McCain double the price of electricity?  I would think all these factories will close and set up in countries where they aren’t scared of technology.

When Poolman pulled this stunt before he took off for his new cushy job, my BCBS rates went up at almost three times the rate of inflation; a pox on all their houses!

I’m not even sure the state treasurer should be elected.  It’s a bureaucratic position that should probably be appointed.

That said, at least Vance is talking about lowering taxes and spending which is more than we can say about Republicans.

Rob’s recently listened-to songs:

What’s interesting is that Vance is so incredibly cheap. 

The surplus is around a billion dollars.  The population of ND is around 600,000.  That would work out to $1600 a person.

The last budget was 12% of ongoing spending increases and 11% for “one time” projects.  Therefore there is NO reason for the state to increase funding over the current budget. 

That would leave the $1666 per person to be returned to the taxpayers.

Or are the republicans and democrats in the state to greedy to give up money they don’t need?
