Dust control a major issue for western N.D.
DICKINSON, N.D. — In 1978, Kansas sang “all we are is dust in the wind.” For residents of southwestern North Dakota in 2013 caught in a dust storm on a windy day, that lyric can certainly ring true.

Other Views: N.D. oil investments support investment
North Dakota’s potential as a crude oil and natural gas producer continues to grow. The U.S. Geological Survey recently released new, much higher estimates for the recoverable oil in the state. That’s important because it implies investors in wells and infrastructure are more likely to see a solid return, all else being equal.

Creating its own monopoly
Somewhere along the line, the idea behind the Western Area Water Supply Authority has changed, and certainly not for the better. The purpose of WAWS was to create a rural water system to provide infrastructure and water to cities in western North Dakota.
