Fargo is the largest city in North Dakota. Sales tax receipts by quarter; first Fargo, then Williston, at each quarter (rounded to nearest million):
4Q10: $617 million vs $436 million
2Q11: $590 million vs $535 million
3Q11: $655 million vs $722 million (Williston passes Fargo for first time)
4Q11: $704 million vs $811 million
1Q12: $542 million vs $791 million
2Q12: $666 million vs $857 million
and still no real tax relief. amazing. minot is raising property taxes again and also wants another half percent sales tax or the sky will fall. Excellent site Bruce - i enjoy grazing thru your posts.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, I've enjoyed it (the blogging). The Bowman County folks are asking the same question: why a 12% tax increase?
