Bernie Erickson, Fargo, letter: Equal treatment for long-term relationships 
As Minnesotans begin what is sure to become a lengthy and heated debate, I would encourage those on both sides of the issue to keep top of mind that this is not about forcing churches to perform wedding ceremonies. It is about equal protection under the law.

Lloyd Nelson, Valley City, N.D., letter: Should N.D. eliminate property taxes? Yes
I believe the elimination of property taxes is the only sensible way to not only reduce taxes, but also ensure that everyone pays the same amount of taxes to support the government.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Count on voters to reject property-tax repeal
Even though a majority of us dislike the property tax, this proposal will be defeated because, in the final analysis, voters will recognize the pitfalls involved in such a radical change.

Thomas Petros and Donald Poochigian, Grand Forks, column: Radically restructure N.D. education? Why?
House Concurrent Resolution 3046 calls for the creation of a Department of Education which would administer all public education, eliminating both the State Board of Higher Education and popular election of the superintendent of public instruction.
What’s unclear is the rationale for the proposed change.

Dwight Messner, Grand Forks, letter: Make property taxes fairer, more equitable
To completely eliminate property taxes (as some in North Dakota are trying to do) would cause distortions in other areas that the taxman would use to raise revenue.

OUR OPINION: N.D. Senate vote isn’t a ‘pass-along’
But the legislative requirement isn’t there for show. It’s a hurdle placed in an amendments’ path on purpose. The hurdle forces amendments to win lawmakers’ approval — not simply their acknowledgment — before going on to a statewide ballot.

If the Legislature and/or the governor want to press the UND Fighting Sioux nickname and logo issue, let them go to court and ask for a mandatory injunction against the State Board of Higher Education for refusing to comply with an unconstitutional law.

OUR OPINION: No more muzzles for N.D. governors
After 122 years, it’s time for North Dakotans to strip the duct tape from off of their governor’s mouth.
And HCR 3052 would help do just that.

Terry Fischer, Grand Forks, letter: Congress must repeal ‘Patriot Act’
The Patriot Act, which is due for renewal, has undermined the civil rights of those it claims to protect. We need to monitor our elected officials in Congress to see if they have the common sense and foresight to repeal this unconstitutional and invasive act.
We can fight terrorism without it, thank you very much.

Don Worcester, West Fargo, N.D., letter: Measure lets N.D. take back power
I urge my state legislators to put HCR3014 on the 2012 ballot so North Dakotans get the chance to protect themselves against the most egregious federal government overreach in history — Obamacare.

OUR OPINION: The right of the people peaceably to assemble
As packed crowds of demonstrators chant and drum in the Wisconsin Capitol, as tens of thousands more marchers parade outside in Madison, Wis., as Indiana lawmakers join their Wisconsin counterparts in fleeing across state lines, consider: This is one of America’s finest hours. The chaotic and at times unsettling events show our country at its best.

OUR OPINION: Nothing constitutional about nullification
Nullification measures may be effective political theater, but they are unconstitutional as a matter of law.
