Pigs at the trough

Most Americans may not be fluent in the language of economics, but thanks to our Puritan heritage (“waste not, want not”) we understand waste quite well. The annual ritual of rendering unto Caesar on April 15 brings with it the always-useful “Congressional Pig Book.” Compiled by Citizens Against Government Waste, the “Pig Book” lists some of the more outrageous spending indulged in by our “public servants” in pursuit of the only bipartisan activities still practiced in Washington: spending and re-election.

Restaurants team up with Civic Center to boost tournament hospitality

Class B high school basketball tournaments held at the Civic Center generate more than 16,000 visitors to Jamestown and about $1 million in economic impact, according to Civic Center Manager Pam Fosse. The numbers are conservative and don’t include the teams and their officials. In all, Fosse said, just those six basketball tournaments — boys and girls county, district and regional — can generate close to 20,000 visitors to Jamestown. Those numbers alone make tournaments here a priority, Fosse said. They also mean looking for ways to increase tournament action at the Civic Center.

What others think" Businesses must reach out to young people

If Bismarck-Mandan wants its next generation ready in numbers to face the challenges of the future, then it does need to reach out to young people. But it needs to do so by offering challenging positions with responsibility and competitive pay. While it helps having recreational and cultural attractions for young people, the real carrots are jobs in their fields that come with competitive pay based on performance.
