Last week we were on the road again in St. Louis, Nashville, Fayetteville, Little Rock, and Baton Rouge to fight back against the job-killing, tax-hiking Cap and Trade scheme being debated in Congress right now. We spoke to some inspirational activists who came from near and far to make their voice heard by their representatives and senators, vote NO on this massive energy tax increase.

The threat of a major tax increase from cap-and-trade legislation is back.

Senator Kent Conrad (D-ND) remains open to using the little known practice of “budget reconciliation” to lower from 60 to 50 the number of senators needed to enact this big-government, higher taxes legislation, writes Kevin Cramer, president of the North Dakota Public Service Commission.

From the Desk of Duane Sand:

Dear Fellow Taxpayers,

With the 60th Legislative Assembly complete and all the final revenue numbers for the 2005-07 biennium tallied the need to reduce the state's personal and corporate income tax rates has never been more evident. While the legislature was able to pass a stop-gap measure to dull the pain of skyrocketing property taxes, it did nothing to actually cut tax rates for the taxpayers of North Dakota - who created the state's unprecedented $630 million surplus!

Bismarck, ND — Americans for Prosperity of North Dakota (AFP-North Dakota) released more results of their ongoing study of local government spending in Grand Forks county. In the newly released material, AFP-North Dakota has condensed North Dakota Department of Public Instruction (DPI) data that details individual salaries for each position in every school district in the state.
