Game preserve owners are campaigning against a proposed North Dakota ballot measure that would eliminate so-called high-fence hunting, saying a ban would violate their property rights. "The bottom line is that preserve hunting is not for everyone," said Wayne Laaveg, who owns an elk farm near Edinburg. "But citizens should have the right to choose where they want to hunt." Supporters of the initiative say it's unethical to shoot a fenced-in animal.

A group of concerned home builders, real estate agents, land owners and purportedly seniors, teachers and other moderate-income makers, too, have formed a Political Action Committee and plan to circulate a petition asking voters to approve a ballot measure to decrease the number of affordable housing units. Real estate broker John Telfer, a leader of the group, said he and other members of the PAC, under the name of "Citizens For a Balanced Community," claim that Measure C, the city's growth-control initiative passed in 2004, doesn't give enough home buying options to moderate-income earners, while very low- and low-income wage earners buy homes they can't afford in the long run.
