In North Dakota, the expression “North Dakota nice” is often heard. A similar shared mindset in North Dakota might also be “North Dakota fair”. Overall North Dakotans, it might be “fair” to say, appreciate and expect a level playing field in life in general and especially in North Dakota politics.
Too bad that Governor Burgum does not appear to accept what most people who live in North Dakota believe in.

Not very North Dakota nice. ... Or some might agree, North Dakota fair.
