Measure One: Not controversial, but important

By Dave Thompson

Bismarck, ND – It isn't the most controversial item on the November ballot.

Its supporters describe it as "housekeeping." And there's NO organized opposition...no yard signs...and no expensive commercials on the airwaves.

It's measure number one -- a Constitutional change involving the Common Schools Trust Fund. And as Prairie Public's Dave Thompson reports, the Land Department and educational interests say it's an important change.

Your support keeps Prairie Public strong and independent, serving communities across our region with programs that educate, involve, and inspire.
