Rail-trail tax dispute fuels House committee hearing

Nordhus of Marshall County warned he could face property taxes on abandoned right of way crossing his land, a tax bill he says would require a court fight for compensation. Agricultural groups backed the measure, saying farmers should not bear tax burdens for rail-trails, while rail-trail advocates said no taxes are currently due and noted Nordhus’s case isn’t resolved.
