N.D. (NewsDakota.com) Democratic Tax Commissioner Candidate Jason Astrup, of Fargo, will officially unveil his plan to exempt social security income from taxation during news conferences today in Fargo and Bismarck.

Astrup says the proposal will save North Dakota seniors money that can be used to offset the soaring cost of living in Western North Dakota.  He says the cost of this plan is minimal to the State, as North Dakota ended the last legislative session with a $1.4 billion surplus.
