Forum editorial: Property tax relief historic
It appears that the cabal opposed to North Dakota’s local property tax system will not be satisfied until the tax is abolished. The measure they put on the ballot in 2012 was body-checked by voters, but that reality has not deterred them from renewing the tilt at the windmill.May 11, 2013
