What's in question at this point is, in my opinion, can enough non-property owners (the majority of voters not only in North Dakota but across America) be convinced that they're not being cheated out of a share of the state's windfall. Can they be convinced to support the removal of the property taxes?
I'm a property owner in North Dakota so I am all for getting rid of the property tax but unlike Alaska, which has waived all state income taxes and sends every 'resident (Not just property owners)' a check every year this particular tax in North Dakota will only benefit property owners.

I lived in an apartment for years. I was fortunate enough to see the itemization of my entire month’s rent, including property tax. If you rent from someone who has to up your rent to pay a property tax, then in a competitive market, you either receive the benefit of a smaller expense of maintaining a rental, or property ownership becomes more affordable. Oh yeah, depending on the tax structure, the cost of business overhead and thus business and thereby goods and services goes down. EVERYONE benefits when property taxes are removed.
