Years long dispute in Grand Forks ends with tax refund 
The Grand Forks Housing Authority soon could get a $38,000 tax refund — not a check from the Internal Revenue Service, but from local governments.

The billion-dollar question: Cash-flush N.D. sure to see property tax relief, but how?
The tax North Dakota homeowners love to loathe is about to get another whack. North Dakota voters spurned a chance last week to abolish the property tax in the primary, but the state Capitol is brimming with ideas to provide more tax relief and better fairness.

Measure 2 defeated, lawmakers mull property tax reforms
A constitutional measure that would have made North Dakota the first state in the nation to abolish property taxes went down in flames Tuesday, with about 77 percent of the more than 172,000 primary voters soundly saying “No” to Measure 2. But Sen. Dwight Cook, R-Mandan, said the Legislature has worked to reform property taxes for years, an effort that will continue — and lawmakers already have several plans that could lower tax bills — despite what happened in voting booths across the state.

Measure 2 supporters say barring property tax would lift never-ending burden
Measure 2, which would eliminate the North Dakota property tax if approved, could be called the $1.6 billion question. That’s the amount of money in a two-year budget that state legislators would have to replace to help fund public schools, cities, counties, townships – in all, 2,100 units of local governments.

Doug Graupe, Crosby, N.D., letter: Unrealistic to expect Legislature to do it all
Local governments meet often and can respond to change easily. The Legislature meets once every two years.

State Sen. Curtis Olafson, Edinburg, N.D., letter: Very few legislators support Measure 2
I think it is very telling that, to the best of my knowledge, there is only one member of the Legislature out of 141 who publicly supports Measure 2. Legislators certainly don’t know everything, but their lack of support speaks volumes about this far-reaching proposal.

John Reese, Grand Forks, letter: Passing Measure 2 puts money in people’s pockets
So many people are clamoring to refinance or somehow reduce their monthly mortgage payment. But even after all that effort, they find their monthly mortgage payment reduced by only $150 to $200.
In contrast, by simply going to the voting booth, homeowners have the chance increase their annual expendable income by $3,600 to $6000.

Joe Miller, Park River, N.D., column: Property taxes need reform, not removal
One could argue that the complexity of this system is a reason to remove it and replace it with a leaner system. I’d argue that simply removing it would create a new and greater level of complexity. For evidence of this, see the federal tax code.

Susan Beehler, Grand Forks, letter: N.D. needs no new taxes to pay for Measure 2
The state has the money to do this. We have almost $2 billion in the school lands fund, and the state is taking in $4.8 million a day. We can get rid of property tax and use the money that’s already coming into our state through the increased collections of sales tax, income tax and all the other taxes the state has overcollected.
Measure 2 will be the people’s refund of the overpayment.

Scott Louser, Minot, column: Measure 2 doubles or triples Legislature’s workload
I’d ask the voters to consider the future makeup of the Legislature. Adding additional requirements would make it all but impossible for actively engaged business people to serve. In my view, the only people who could be legislators would be retired people and those who fully depend upon government for their livelihood.
