Watch out for rising land values

Average North Dakota farmland values, for purposes of taxation, have increased 29 percent. Property taxes on that land should not automatically be allowed to increase by the same amount, and that’s what will happen if local governments don’t reduce their level of taxation accordingly.

Hoeven’s pipeline strategy pays off

The evidence is in: North Dakota Sen. John Hoeven picked the right issue on which to step to the front and take a leadership role among Senate Republicans.

Build a foundation for growth

North Dakota communities sitting on the edge of an expanding Bakken oil play can see trouble coming — in the form of pressure on their water and sewer systems, law enforcement, planning and zoning and other key local services. What’s a town to do?

Cramer throws a curveball

Kevin Cramer has been a party man all his political life. A former North Dakota Republican Party chairman and executive director, he’s run for public office several times as a loyal party member and with the imprimatur of the party apparatus.

Get the pipeline back on track

President Barack Obama’s recent rejection of the permit for the Keystone XL pipeline from Canada to Texas certainly won’t be the last word on the project, and even Democrats are supporting the pipeline’s eventual approval.

Support a good rivalry between UND, NDSU

During its 2010-11 season, the North Dakota State University men’s basketball team played 13 games at home and racked up a total attendance of 42,691. That’s an average of 3,305 fans per game, NDSU’s website notes. But there was one outlier: one game that drew close to 11,000 fans — fully a quarter of the total for the season.

Politics are all over pipeline decision

President Barack Obama’s decision to delay an oil pipeline from Canada to Texas sends the wrong signals to a nation that is emerging from recession. It suggests the president cares little about the impact on Americans of high gasoline and heating fuel prices. It confirms that when the economic chips are really down, the president opts for politics over pragmatism. Furthermore, environmentalists who are hailing the decision as a victory for their climate-change cause are being disingenuous.

Hospital merger looks very possible

‘Exploratory talks” is the way representatives of two major North Dakota hospitals described the possibility of a merger. Sanford Health’s Fargo unit and Medcenter One in Bismarck said they are discussing coming together.

A small sign of normalcy PressPass

It’s a small sign that life for some is slowly but surely returning to some level of normalcy: The number of occupied temporary housing units in Minot is decreasing.

Oil Patch generating innovative solutions PressPass

As crude oil production continues to intensify in western North Dakota, new concerns and issues surface. Who would have thought that disposing of wastewater from small and large man camps would be a problem? But consider: As nearly 510,000 barrels of oil a day are produced in the state’s oil patch, workers create another 500,000 gallons of sewer water with only limited means to process or get rid of it.
