Letter to the editor: Cramer must figure out how to represent constituents

I rarely find myself speechless, but after weeks of Kevin Cramer and his unbelievable actions, it’s almost hard to find words to express how disappointing and embarrassing he is.

Opinion Corner: Bad press sells papers

Of all the lessons I’ve learned through the years is that people love to read negative stories.

Other Views: Pageants make winners in life

Across the nation, beauty pageants for children have taken a lot of heat. Thanks largely to television shows that show parents pushing young children to train, diet and compete in pageants, most of them have received a bad reputation.

Letter to the editor: Leaders should do their part to reduce property taxes

The rise in the valuation of property in communities across the state has garnered a lot of recent media attention, with many concerns voiced about the impact these increases will have on property taxes.

Letter to the editor: N.D. lawmakers passed tax relief for residents

The $1.1 billion in tax relief passed in the 2013 North Dakota legislative session is a big number, but for most people, it is hard to figure how that really affects each of us individually.

Letter to the editor: It’s time to get behind effort to build new library here

The time has come. Over the past 20 years plus, a constant theme in my letters to the editor regarding our libraries has been the importance of providing good library services to all the citizens of our city and county — the importance of a place that says “we believe in learning; that books (and now other media) should be made available to all, no matter the status of one’s life.”

Shirvani makes off with golden parachute

The North Dakota Board of Higher Education is going to have a tough time explaining the astonishingly generous severance package granted departing university system Chancellor Hamid Shirvani.

Letter to the editor: Churches: Homosexuality is not an abomination

A recent article on the religion page highlighted a documentary being filmed on “Open and Affirming” churches, which welcome people of all sexual orientations.

This is very true, but the writer of the original article erred by not explaining the word “affirming.”

Taking the edge off the oil boom

North Dakota saw a 28.7 percent increase in taxable sales in 2012. It’s the most common way to measure the performance of the state’s economy, and that kind of increase, compared to the rest of the nation, is exemplary. The fourth quarter of 2012 was up 9.7 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year. In other words, the state’s surging, boom economy has started to slow.

Put film incentives on agenda

North Dakota will never become the film capital of North America, but the state has the potential and the resources to gain consideration by the television and film industry as a good location to make TV shows and movies. That’s not happening now because North Dakota does not promote itself as a good place to make a movie, and hasn’t done so effectively or consistently for years.
