Opponents hail pushback to property tax ban 
North Dakota voters’ seeming reluctance to eliminate their property taxes is explained one of two ways, as the proposal on the June 12 primary approaches its test at the ballot box. Proponents of Measure 2, which would amend the state constitution to eliminate property taxes, say they must do a better job of getting their message out to voters — particularly explaining what revenues would replace the key means of paying for local government.

16 counties in northeastern N.D. to get $15 million for roads

That resulted in a $3.2 million boost to transportation funding in Grand Forks County on Friday, including $1.2 million of highway funding for the city of Grand Forks.

RALPH KINGSBURY: Anger over government failure sparks initiatives
North Dakotans likely will be voting on two important issues in the June primary. The first is property taxation, its limitations and unfairness. If Measure 2 is not adopted in the election, then changes will come in the legislative session. One way or another, the state will have to get serious about the problems of property taxation. This issue will not go away until changes occur. The second issue is academic freedom, which is coming to a head through the Legislature’s absurd effort to require UND to use a particular nickname for its sports teams.
