Killdeer voters approve reorganization of sales tax

When a town of just over 1,000 people makes a big financial decision, every vote counts—and in Killdeer, they counted 127 in favor and 26 against. Voters approved a reorganization of the city’s 2% sales tax, keeping the rate in place while shifting a portion of it toward a new community fund. Starting next year, that fund will help support local organizations and development efforts, while still maintaining steady support for the aquatics center. It’s a shift rooted in growth—and in trusting the community to shape its own future. Evan Butow with the Dickinson Press has the full story.
