The state expects to collect $5 billion in general tax revenues over those two years. <\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Becker said local governments would still be in charge of their budgets and for generating revenue they would need above the flat, annual amount the state would replace. He floated a combination of a \u201cmunicipal operations\u201d and infrastructure maintenance fee or tax for every household and business. Those would be more fair and transparent, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Where the replacement revenue comes from is up to the Legislature, Becker said. He suggested a portion could come from earnings of the state&#x27;s $10.7 billion <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE\" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rio.nd.gov\/legacy-fund\">oil tax savings.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"oLzSq QrHMO GbsKS pvsTF EhJPu vPlOC zNYgW OsTsW AMhAA daRVX ISNQ sKyCY eRftA acPPc ebfE nFwaT MCnQE mEeeY SmBjI xegrY VvTxJ iulOd NIuqO zzscu lzDCc aHUBM hbvnu OjMNy eQqcx SVqKB GQmdz jaoD iShaE ONJdw vrZxD OnRTz gbbfF roDbV kRoBe oMlSS gfNzt oJhud eXZcf zhVlX\">\n<div data-testid=\"prism-ad-wrapper\" style=\"min-height:250px;transition:min-height 0.3s linear 0s\" data-ad-placeholder=\"true\">\n<div data-box-type=\"fitt-adbox-fitt-article-inline-box\" data-testid=\"prism-ad\">\n<div class=\"Ad fitt-article-inline-box  ad-slot\" data-slot-type=\"fitt-article-inline-box\" data-slot-kvps=\"pos=fitt-article-inline-box\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">Keep It Local, a coalition of groups with ties to agriculture, education, health care, public safety and other areas, opposes the measure, saying residents could face \u201cprofound consequences&#8221; if property taxes are eliminated.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">\u201cThe measure to eliminate property tax threatens our ability to fund essential services locally, tasks our state legislature with covering a funding gap of approximately $1.3 billion per year, and jeopardizes the quality of life we cherish in our neighborhoods and towns,&#8221; Chad Oban, Keep It Local chair, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy\">The ballot measure would present a monumental task for the Legislature&#x27;s budget writers, who would have to rethink funding of myriad items, said Republican state Rep.
