Williston Leads North Dakota In 2Q13 Taxes Despite Wet Spring Slowing Activity; Williston Soundly Beats Fargo, State's Largest City

From The Williston Wire.
The Tax Department today issued a report that reflects a slowing in taxable sales and purchases for North Dakota during the second quarter, which includes the months of April, May, and June.  Second quarter 2013 total taxable sales and purchases was $6.293 billion compared to $6.451 billion for the same quarter in 2012.  Williston lead the state in sales taxes with $795,558,467.  Fargo, the state's largest city, generated $670,450,934 during the same period. 
Comparing comparable quarters is critical, rather than comparing sequential quarters.

The PDF at the link shows that Williston has been #1 for the past eight (8) quarters.
