“It scares me to death [to think about] what our township would look like,” in the event of a snowstorm if Measure 4 passed, Jessica Van Winkle, a special educator in Bismarck, said. “We've had a couple pretty bad snow storms. I'm not going to be able to make it into town if I don't have my neighborhood plowman coming and plowing our roads. ... And knowing that, just like teachers, those public...

“Taking property taxes away from our schools would ultimately hurt the students that we claim that we're trying to help, that we're trying to grow, that we're trying to be more equitable,” Amanda Deveraux, a special education paraeducator in Fargo and West Fargo, said. “You know, the first thing that goes when we take away funding [are] programs we put in place to ensure equity or inclusion. … ...
