ND governor proposing $545 million in tax relief
Share Email Bookmark

Republican North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple

is proposing $545 million in tax cuts and says the state should

play a greater role in funding education.

The plan that would be considered in the 2013 Legislature if

Dalrymple wins election includes cuts in property taxes, as well as

individual and corporate income taxes. It expands the homestead tax

credit for disabled and senior citizens.

Dalrymple wants a 50 percent reduction in the average school

district tax levy. He says that would save the owner of a $180,000

home nearly $1,100 in property taxes.

Democratic state Sen. Ryan Taylor, who's running against

Dalrymple, says the governor is ``reacting to issues long after

hearing the public outcry.''

Taylor says he released his plan more than two months ago.
