County boards get say on secession

Commissions to decide if measure comes to a vote

HICKSON, N.D. – A petition to secede from Cass County to Richland County has officially been filed by a group of upset residents here, but the county boards will likely decide whether to let the measure come to a vote. The petition, which would shift part of Cass County to neighboring Richland County, was organized after voters learned that a $1.8 billion proposal to re-route the Red River would put their properties under water during floods. They said their elected officials weren’t concerned about it.
