North Dakota voters this fall could end the property tax by approving a ballot measure that opponents say would drastically slash a variety of state services.
In what way would “we’re cutting property tax in half!” not work? No one enjoys paying these taxes. But if the state can’t slash the rate in half and pay for it, how will just throwing it out the window with no concrete plan do any better?
I agree property taxes are problematic for fixed income people and low income people. I just think they need to show how they can pay for essential services and cut taxes at the same time, without just gesturing to money they may tap into.
