Letter to the editor: Legislature shouldn’t be deciding women’s business
I am sick and tired of those in our Legislature who think they know more about making decisions about women’s bodies than we women do! Do they think we are too helpless to supply ourselves with contraceptives? Do they think we have no control over if or when we get pregnant? By the decisions they make for us, you’d think we didn’t know the cause of pregnancy and that we are at the mercy of the Legislature for our family planning options.

Letter to the editor: Congress should repeal law affecting Postal Service
Did you know, in 2006, Congress passed legislation that forced the U.S. Postal Services to prefund its retirement and health care to cover 75 years in the future and to do this in a 10-year window? This has cost the Postal Service $5.5 billion a year, and has put an undue financial burden on the Postal Service that no other company/business has been required to do.

Letter to the editor: Politicians shouldn’t try to undo what citizens want
As someone who proudly voted for Measure 4 and continues to support the law that helped North Dakotans breathe cleaner air by going smoke-free, it is ridiculous to see a handful of North Dakota politicians attempting to undo what 67 percent of us have done! Collectively 67 percent of North Dakotans voted for this smoke-free law, by majority in every single county.

Letter to the editor: Oil-drilling pads wasting too much space
House Bill 1348 would increase setbacks from oil wells to people’s homes from 500 feet to one-fourth mile. I testified in support of the bill. At the hearing, the North Dakota Petroleum Council made the argument that if you get setbacks to 1,000 feet or more, it will cost the surface owner the most! The reality is this would be the most effective way to make the oil companies use the new technology and build multi-pads instead of single well pads.

Oil impacts the natural world as well
Oil development has stepped hard on western North Dakota’s landscape. The state has been reasonably quick to reinforce and expand infrastructure in the Western oil-producing counties. It’s applied funds to social issues raised by oil development. The state has given a hand to cities, school districts and counties attempting to meet the needs of their citizens in this boom. All this in an area where people’s lives are being changed by rapid development and industrialization of the landscape.

Letter to the editor: Funding for milk is about children in N.D.
Children and families in our state are struggling. There is a need for assistance for our kids whether that is a backpack program that feeds them over the weekend, or ensuring all students in kindergarten through third grade can have milk or juice during their snack break with their friends.
