Letter to the editor: Little done for small businesses in session

Members of the Republican Party have suggested over and over that they were able to provide real relief and do what’s best for North Dakotans. It’s become increasingly difficult to decipher if members of the GOP leadership believe their own rhetoric, or if they are holding tight to it in order to convince the rest of us that their imprudent priorities and lack of concern for the people in our state are anything more than smoke and mirrors.

Letter to the editor: Session hampered by questionable priorities

Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson, and House Majority Leader Al Carlson, R-Fargo, recently boasted that they “got the job done for the citizens.” If that’s the definition of getting the job done, we fully expect the people of North Dakota to decide someone else should do the job. Too often, tremendous opportunities were squandered by an overly-ideological GOP majority with seriously misplaced priorities.
