Dennis Stillings, Valley City, N.D., letter: Omdahl wants his era’s works to live forever
For Herald columnist Lloyd Omdahl, the achievements of his time in government are monuments to which all future generations must bow. The upstarts and whippersnappers who make up today’s Legislature apparently are incapable of unraveling the evil mess that the property tax represents.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Replacing lost property taxes no easy task

LLOYD OMDAHL: Too much has been squandered on logo fight
"Personally, I love the Fighting Sioux logo. UND never will get a better one. And I do not agree with the NCAA that it is objectionable," columnist Lloyd Omdahl writes. "But that is not for me to judge because I am not an American Indian. Not being the patient, I cannot say where it hurts. I do know one thing: It is time to put this issue to rest."

Dennis Stillings, Valley City, N.D., column: N.D. should eliminate least fair, most insidious tax
There is no more unfair tax than the property tax. Unlike sales and income taxes, property taxes are not based on a person’s ability to pay. Unlike sales and income taxes, if you are unable to pay property taxes, you lose your home.
