Nope. Doubtless local folks in Nordakoda would have voted their own school aid, had the State been without money. But the State did have money at the time, so elected to do what we did as a Property Tax Relief measure. Entirely reasonable, given the circumstances extant at the time. Sheesh -- we did a number of other things as well, like totally pay off the Vietnam Bonus bonds that paid veterans of that war a small stipend for their service as well. I think it was something like $75M or thereabouts. We did it because we had the money. It was good fiscal management, and folks generally approved of it. They certainly didn't Clamor for it. Public Clamor is not a prerequisite of legislative action, save in your strange take on such things. M5 was not like that at all. You apparently don't comprehend the difference. Nor are you ever likely to. Waste of time to explain to you what M5 actually said. It's been done hereon before.
