There’s no one to blame but yourself for missing class

Level the sales-tax playing field

Greg Danz, proprietor of Zandbroz, faces an invisible wall that he and many other merchants face, whether located downtown or in a mall. His store in Fargo must charge its customers 7.5 percent in state and local sales taxes. In Moorhead, the state sales tax takes a bite of 6.875 percent.

Editorial: School Board needs to revisit policies

Jamestown Public Schools should hire the best available teachers, regardless of who they are related to — but a policy should be in place to protect against nepotism and potential “good ole’ boy” hiring decisions.

Federal priorities have us confused

Remember years ago when North Dakota lawmakers approved legislation allowing farmers in the state to grow industrial hemp, a distant cousin of marijuana that contains only tiny traces of THC, the psychoactive element of the plant? Remember the federal government’s reaction?

More should sign up for CodeRed here

Every summer, North Dakotans can be certain they’ll have to put up with road construction and severe weather. The road construction is predictable and steady, but the weather is anything but. These storms are simply a fact of living in the Northern Plains.

Erdrich richly deserves award

Louise Erdrich richly deserves her selection as the latest recipient of the North Dakota Rough Rider Award, which honors current or former North Dakotans who were influenced by the state and achieved national recognition in their field. That’s certainly the case with Erdrich, who grew up in Wahpeton and has won many accolades as an author, including the National Book Award in 2012 for her last novel, “The Round House.”

Editorial: Time for Shirvani to resign

Hamid Shirvani’s brief tenure as North Dakota’s chancellor of higher education has been remarkable for its seemingly endless blunders, arrogant management style and needless controversy, all of which have damaged the state’s 11 campuses and their students.

Erdrich deserves award

The author Louise Erdrich will be presented with a Rough Rider Award today in Wahpeton, the southeastern North Dakota community in which she grew up. Her portrait will be displayed in the state Capitol along with the portraits of 38 others who have earned the state’s highest honor. She is richly deserving of the award.

Williston is not a story of crime

One glance at the Williston Herald in recent weeks makes it look like we live in a city overrun with criminals. Yes, crime has gone up. More people equals more crime, and more crime equals more headlines in the newspaper.

New fund brings questions

Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed House Bill 1278, creating the North Dakota Outdoor Heritage Fund, which will provide as much as $15 million a year by taking a percentage of the gross oil production tax.

Put part of oil-tax fund into stocks like Alaska does

A billion here, a billion there. And pretty soon, you’re talking about the Alaska Permanent Fund, which reached a new high of about $45 billion at the end of March. North Dakota may have topped Alaska in oil production, but North Dakota’s oil tax “Legacy Fund” has a long way to go before it catches up with its Alaskan sibling.

Other Views: ‘Controlled burn was uncontrolled, bureaucratic bungling

South Dakota Sen. John Thune is right: The U.S. Forest Service should take steps now to reimburse landowners for damage to private property caused when the agency attempted a “controlled burn” of 135 acres near the North Dakota/South Dakota border.

Recalibrate Missouri River purpose

Agreed, the strategy behind management of the Missouri River, set by Congress in 1944, needs to be reshaped. But it needs to be done in a balanced and thoughtful way. Four members of the Missouri congressional delegation want to eliminate “fish and wildlife” from the eight purposes laid out to guide the federal government’s management of the river. That kind of unilateral action runs the risk of creating more problems than it solves, and would not fix much of what’s wrong with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers management of the river.
