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.

Diversion progress is excellent

It’s been a couple of very good months for the Fargo-Moorhead diversion project. The North Dakota Legislature appropriated sufficient funding for Fargo flood control projects, and signaled that state support for the diversion was solid. The U.S. Senate passed the Water Resources Development Act, which includes authorization for permanent flood control in the Red River Valley, which includes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-favored diversion.

Spike in gas prices sparks a lesson in economics

If you participate in a 401(k) plan that even remotely touches the stock market, be sure to tell the administrator where you want your pork bellies delivered.

Claim process takes too long

The U.S. Forest Service has offered an apology for the 14,000-acre Pautre Fire south of Hettinger on April 3, a prescribed burn by Forest Service workers that got away from them. But now the federal agency has told ranchers that it will take up to two years to pay on damage claims.

Column: Big chunk of tax cut going out of state

The legislative leadership responsible for the big tax cuts is calling them “the largest tax-relief package this state has ever seen.”

Other Views: Come and worship at football’s crystal cathedral

It’s been likened to an alien spaceship landing; a gigantic greenhouse; a dream job for the people who make Windex. But whatever the early descriptions of the approved design of the new Vikings football stadium, there is little doubt it is extraordinary, and extraordinarily expensive.

Letter to the editor: North Dakota leaders right to launch anti-abortion fight

What a difference God can make in two years. It is a wonderful thing to see the Lord Jesus Christ work out his plan through our own North Dakota Legislature.

Letter to the editor: Sort items properly at the recycling center

I’m not sure that everyone realizes the wonderful resource Jamestown has in its recycling center. Tons of materials go through there that would otherwise go into the landfill but instead go on to be reused in metal and paper products. The center also takes clean and useable clothing and shoes that go for good causes.

List alone won’t be enough

If the North Dakota Industrial Commission is serious, more of the state’s “culturally important” places might be off limits to oil, gas and other potentially damaging development. The commission, at the behest of member Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem, intends to visit specific places this summer with the goal of putting them on a list that might afford the sites some degree of protection.

Letter to the editor: Story implied Christians don’t welcome all people

We are responding to the May 10 article, “Church’s ‘open’ view draws interest” which speaks of congregations that are “open and affirming” of those who engage in same-sex behavior. Sadly, this article also implies that Christians who believe that same-sex behavior is sinful are not willing to welcome or love people who struggle with this sin.

Lawmakers should remember who they work for

Controlled chaos is a calm among the storm. The final weeks of North Dakota’s 63rd Legislative Session were anything but controlled chaos.

Column: Raining on the tax cut parade

It is not my wish to rain on everyone’s parade but the huge tax cuts passed by the recent Legislature are neither wise nor conservative.
