Letters from the past
When I realized last Friday it was the 25th anniversary of the day the Challenger blew up, it made me think of a letter I once received. Back when my husband Eric was in the U.S. Navy, he sent me ple...

Strange, Almost Sensical Spam
Some very weird spam is showing up in my inbox lately. One presents itself as being from a bank, but if a bank secretary was really that bad at proofreading, he would surely be taken out and shot fort...

Letter to the editor: Twitter is a great way for lawmakers to reach voters
I’m writing in response to Rep. Al Carlson’s recent letter to the editor decrying the use of social media by elected officials. For several reasons I disagree with him.By Molly McLain, Jamestown , March 26, 2013
Letter to the editor: Legislature right to pass bills to block abortions
We applaud our North Dakota Legislature for passing some of the most pro-woman and pro-life health laws in our nation with the intent to uphold the sanctity of human life in our great state. For all the criticism these bills have received from the secular media and pro-abortion supporters, these sources have failed to respond to the one question that defines why the good people of North Dakota are pursuing this type of legislation.By Amanda Ellerkamp, Dickinson, N.D., and Rachelle Sauvageau, Fargo, N.D. , March 26, 2013
Letter to the editor: ‘Personhood’ bill is intrusion by government into health
I’ve never been more confused; what does the North Dakota Republican Party stand for? I understood Republicans believed in less government involvement, personal responsibility, fiscal restraint to leave more money in the people’s pocket. I get that, but here are just a few examples Republican legislators don’t.By Tanya Stebbins, Coleharbor, N.D. , March 26, 2013
Letter to the editor: Let the FDA worry about electronic cigarettes, chew
After receiving a 12-1 do not pass recommendation from the House Human Services Committee, HCR 3033 passed the North Dakota House by one vote.By Eric L. Johnson, MD, Grand Forks , March 26, 2013
Letter to the editor: Give oil companies incentive to stop excessive flaring
Flaring of natural gas in western North Dakota is out of control. We can monitor the expanding oil development and excessive waste in the Bakken compliments of nighttime satellite images of North America.By Lillian Jones, Fargo, N.D. , March 25, 2013
Letter to the editor: Support is key to helping promote Frontier Village
I, would like to “thank” Alden Kollman, president of Buffalo City Tourism Foundation, for his recognition that Frontier Village was trying to advertise/promote “outside” of the box, (50 miles outside of the Jamestown/Stutsman County area) as suggested by BCTF, in our request for the Pioneer Days events in the 2013 season.By By Tina Busche, Jamestown , March 23, 2013
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers should have options in communicating
On March 13, an editorial was in The Jamestown Sun titled “Name calling hides issue of more importance.” I could not agree more with the editorial board.By By Tim Exner, Jamestown , March 23, 2013
Letter to the editor: Jamestown shouldn’t force crew camps on rural folks
You gave us your sewage. You gave us your garbage. Now you want to give us low-cost housing for your temporary construction laborers.By By Ray Greenwood, rural Jamestown , March 22, 2013
Letter to the editor: Taxpayers shouldn’t pay more to cover costs of camps
Stutsman County will see a lot of industrial growth over the next two or three years. At the peak of this activity it could take up to 2,000 workers to build these projects. The county is preparing itself for the appearance of crew camps to house these workers. This would be a sensible solution to a temporary housing need.By By Tracy Muske, Jamestown , March 21, 2013
Letter to the editor: Questions remain after meeting on zoning ordinance
The morning of March 13 there was a hearing of the Stutsman County Planning and Zoning Board to adopt an amendment to the Stutsman County Zoning Ordinance as it pertains to crew housing facilities.By By Rickie Poseley, rural Jamestown , March 21, 2013
Letter to the editor: Haak has contributed much during 2013 session
I could not be more proud to work alongside all members of the North Dakota Legislature, and take great pride in the work of our Democratic-NPL Caucus. I am impressed daily by the collective knowledge, passion and experience that its members bring to the House of Representatives.By By Rep. Kenton Onstad, Parshall, N.D. , March 20, 2013
Letter to the editor: Article got the facts right on water use in the Oil Patch
Amy Dalrymple’s recent article, “Water for oil: Industry used 5.4 billion gallons of water in 2012,” provided some much-needed context to an important issue in domestic energy production. As she correctly points out, hydraulic fracturing does consume a great deal of water.By By Jack Luellen, Denver, Colo. , March 19, 2013

Letter to the editor: Jamestown residents should be proud of Haak’s service

Letter to the editor: Voter ID law will bar some legal voters from voting
House Bill 1332 would require government-issued photo identification for voting. This bill is a classic example of one from the American Legislative Exchange Council, which is an out-of-state special interest group funded by big business that would take away individuals’ rights to advance their own agenda.By By Roberta Olson, Gwinner, N.D. , March 16, 2013
