CITIZENS FOR RESPONSIBLE GOVERNMENT

Growing community through fiscal responsibility

The purpose of the Citizens for Responsible Government is to give voice to the Taxpayers who work everyday to make their lives and the lives of those around them better. The Tax Facts website was established to keep taxpayers informed of the truth about taxes.

Bismarck residents are faced with the tough choice of imposing new taxes on their already heavily burdened incomes or making a choice for greater fiscal responsibility and management by voting No on Measure #1 and by electing officials with the insight and vision to improve the city without higher taxes.
