Letter to the editor: E-cigs and smokeless tobacco aren’t solutions

The North Dakota House of Representatives supported HCR 3033 by only one vote, and it now awaits action in the North Dakota Senate.

Letter to the editor: Legislators disrespect wishes of N.D. voters

I have become increasingly concerned with the actions some of our legislators have shown this session in disrespecting the wishes of North Dakota voters.

Letter to the editor: Politicians shouldn’t try to undo what citizens want

As someone who proudly voted for Measure 4 and continues to support the law that helped North Dakotans breathe cleaner air by going smoke-free, it is ridiculous to see a handful of North Dakota politicians attempting to undo what 67 percent of us have done! Collectively 67 percent of North Dakotans voted for this smoke-free law, by majority in every single county.
