North Dakota’s future goes beyond oil and gas industry


I am an outfitter, and although our company guides mountain bike trips instead of hunting buffalo, when we bring folks from all over the country to the North Dakota grasslands, we are keeping alive the rich history of the region.

North Dakota is where Theodore Rossevelt’s relationship with the great outdoors was formed. When personal tragedy struck, Roosevelt turned to the rainbow-colored Badlands, and it is this special place that is credited with his lifelong respect for America’s public lands.

As Roosevelt’s career took off, he gave back to nature by reminding us that land in its natural state has inherent value. The idea that we should be wise about how we harvest resources from the earth is what created the National Park system and set the stage for all Americans to look beyond our current needs to the needs of future generations.

Today, oil and gas is a major economic driver for the North Dakota economy. The Bakken oil field is the home of the Theodore Roosevelt National Park and the 144 mile long

bike trail. Right now these important recreation assets and cultural treasures are coexisting with extensive oil production all around them.

By careful placement of well pads and access roads there is an opportunity to maintain the beauty and natural experience provided by both the National Park and the trail.

The Maah Daah Hey trail is only a small part of the region’s economy today, but it stands to grow in importance in the future. Many communities that once depended on resource extraction have now fully pivoted to recreation. The quality of life that outdoor access provides has brought enduring prosperity to former mining and timber towns in every western state, bringing both visitors and business investment.

However, the

includes two parcels that are on the boundary and in the viewshed of the North Unit of Theodore Roosevelt National Park. These proposed parcels are also near the Maah Daah Hey Trail.

In my home town of Moab, Utah, when parcels on the world famous Slickrock Bike and OHV Trail and the campgrounds near Canyonlands National Park were nominated to be leased, businesses and residents spoke up and pointed out that diminishing these places would be a real threat to the Moab economy.

When uranium mining in Moab declined it was exactly these places that allowed Moab to survive and prosper. The people of North Dakota should have the same opportunity.

Senator Daines of Montana disagrees. He recently introduced a bill that would force all parcels on every available acre of public land to be leased, even though oil and gas production in the U.S.

and Bloomberg predicts that a

record glut will follow shortly.

Plus, the latest data from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) shows that only

50% of lands leased for oil and gas have actually been developed

, leaving an extensive stockpile of existing leases ready to drill right now.

Daines’ bill is bad for both the oil and gas business and the recreation industry. Land managers will be forced to offer all kinds of parcels no one has asked for, local interests will be silenced, permits to drill will be delayed, and he will be dooming some communities to little, if any, economic prospects when demand for oil peaks, which

Goldman Sachs predicts will be in 2034

. Anyone with a 10-year-old knows that 2034 is right around the corner.

The Theodore Roosevelt National Park and Dakota National Grasslands are owned by all Americans and the bottom line is that market forces are what drive economies, not politicians. Senator Daines will not be able to force private developers to drill or even bid on leases, making his efforts to upend the oil and gas leasing system futile.

Instead of throwing out the baby with bathwater, the current leasing system should be maintained and land managers should continue to consider other important land use needs, starting with the deferral of these two parcels.

Even though Daines is prepared to ignore North Dakota’s heritage, some of us can imagine a future for the Dakota Badlands beyond oil and gas — something we learned from Teddy Roosevelt himself.

Flu cases surge across North Dakota, hitting emergency departments in Fargo


FARGO — Health officials say influenza cases are surging across North Dakota, hitting hospitals and clinics earlier and more aggressively than usual this season.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is tracking a rise in flu illnesses across the country, with roughly 8% of visits to health care providers labeled as flu-like illness, the highest in more than 25 years.

How two property tax credits could reduce — or eliminate — 2026 tax bills

How two property tax credits could reduce — or eliminate — 2026 tax bills


DICKINSON — Property tax bills are arriving, and as inflation, taxes and property values continue to rise, many North Dakota homeowners are feeling the strain of higher household expenses.

Two state programs — the primary residence credit and the homestead property tax credit — aim to ease that burden by reducing, and in some cases eliminating, property taxes for eligible homeowners.

The primary residence credit provides a flat credit of up to $1,600 for qualifying homeowners, regardless of age or income. The homestead credit, meanwhile, reduces the taxable value of a home for seniors and individuals with disabilities, significantly lowering or eliminating their tax bill.

Eligible households may apply for both credits, further reducing the amount owed.

Primary residence credit: Who qualifies and how much is available

The primary residence credit was originally capped at $500 in 2023. In 2025, lawmakers increased the credit to $1,600 after Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed House Bill 1176 into law on May 3, 2025.

To qualify, a homeowner must own and occupy a home in North Dakota as their primary residence. Eligible properties include houses,

mobile homes

, townhomes, duplexes and condominiums. Homes held in trust also qualify. There are no age or income limits, and only one credit is allowed per household.

The credit may be applied up to the amount of property tax owed.

“We’re asking the public to take just a few minutes — please come to us, tell us who you are,” State Tax Commissioner Brian Kroshus said during a press briefing at the Capitol on Dec. 19. “That is the difference between applying the credit across the board and diluting it for everyone or having a larger credit amount of $1,600.”

Armstrong also highlighted the impact of the expanded credit in an

opinion column

.

“Since we more than tripled the credit to $1,600, the number of households paying no property taxes in 2025 has increased to 50,000,” he wrote.

Homestead property tax credit: Using health expenses to qualify

Unlike the primary residence credit, the homestead credit reduces the taxable value of a qualifying home.

To be eligible, applicants must be 65 or older or have a permanent or total disability, own and occupy the home as their primary residence, and have a household income of $70,000 or less. There is no age requirement for individuals with disabilities. Only one spouse may apply if a married couple lives together.

Households earning $40,000 or less may qualify for a 100% reduction in taxable value, up to $9,000. Those earning between $40,001 and $70,000 may qualify for a 50% reduction, up to $4,500.

Out-of-pocket medical expenses can be deducted when calculating household income. Eligible expenses include unreimbursed medical costs paid during the prior year for the homeowner, spouse or dependents. Subtracting those expenses may move applicants into a lower income tier or help them qualify.

Stark County Auditor and Treasurer

Karen Richard

said the credit has eliminated tax bills for many approved applicants.

“Out of the 725 approved homestead credit applications, there were 355 applicants who had a zero-dollar tax bill just from receiving the homestead credit,” Richard said.

She added that participation remains low.

“There are most likely many more seniors who qualify but do not realize the homestead credit exists,” Richard said. “Any way possible to get the word out could really help individuals living on fixed incomes.”

Applying for both credits

Some households qualify for both programs. The homestead credit is applied first, followed by the primary residence credit.

“By applying for and receiving both credits, an additional 149 applicants received a zero-dollar tax bill,” Richard said. “Out of 725 approved homestead applicants, 504 owed nothing for 2025 property taxes.”

It’s also important to note that either credit applies to special assessments, which may still result in a balance owed.

Applications for both credits must be submitted to a local assessor or county director of tax equalization between Jan. 1 and April 1 of the year the credit is requested. For 2026 taxes, the deadline is April 1, 2026.

Sarah Ruffin, who processes homestead and veterans credit applications for Stark County, encouraged seniors to seek assistance if needed.

“If you are over 65, own your home and earn under $70,000 per year, come talk to me about the homestead credit,” Ruffin said.
