SAY ANYTHING BLOG REVEALS THE UGLY TRUTH ABOUT THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

The State Chamber of Commerce and several of the local Chambers have come out in opposition to Measure 2.  Earlier this month we challenged them on their conflict of interest at a state meeting of the North Dakota Realtor's Association.  We pointed out that the Chamber's opposition to Measure 2 was a little disingenuous when so much of the Chamber's membership and board members are government entities.  The Chamber's representative denied that there was any link between the Chamber and state or local governments.

This article in Say Anything Blog exposes the Chamber's lie.

So when the CoC comes out against Measure 2, ask yourself: who's interests are they representing?

This coming June, residents will have the opportunity to vote on a primary ballot measure that, if approved by voters, would eliminate local property taxes, retroactive on Jan. 1, 2012. They would be the first state in the nation to do so.

Can I get a freedom shout?
