The last measure on North Dakota’s November ballot is Measure 4, which would provide specialized vehicle license plates free of charge to volunteer firefighters and other emergency responders.
In this podcast: NorVal Semchenko joins Amy Iler & Cally Musland to explain.
“Every day North Dakotans reap the benefits of
volunteer emergency responders. Thousand of
these volunteers stand ready 24/7 to assist those
of us in an emergency situation. Whether it be a
fire, a traffic accident, a medical emergency or a
lost child. These men and women train for and
perform these duties because of their generous
personalities but are never financially
compensated. It’s time for us to publicly show our
appreciation for these unsung heroes. They are the
true definition of a public servant.” – NorVal Semchenko
In addition to providing a plate similar to the one pictured below, those with the plate would receive free admission into state parks.
The first three numbers on the plate would be the last three digits of their zip code and volunteers would get to choose the last three letters.
Want to know more about the measures? Here’s a break down
from KFGO News
:
Voters in November decide four initiated measures that allow residents to bypass the Legislature and put proposals directly to a vote.
Measure 1 would ban foreign money from North Dakota elections, restrict lobbying and create an independent ethics commission, among other provisions.
Measure 2 would explicitly bar non-U.S. citizens from voting in North Dakota.
Measure 3 would legalize recreational marijuana in the state.
Measure 4 would provide specialized vehicle license plates free of charge to volunteer firefighters and other emergency responders.
