Snyder: State lawmakers should be ashamed of 2013 legacy
The 2013 legislative session is now over, with the traditional closing words “Sine Die.” With this Legislature, that could easily be interpreted as “good riddance.”By Robert Snyder , May 18, 2013
Hart: There's no place like home - especially when it's a mess
My house has never looked better. In fact, I’ve never seen it like this. Every single room is perfectly tidy. There is no clutter anywhere. Every paint scratch has been touched up, every floor is clean. Every dish is put away, and each hairdryer and similar appliance (with three girls, I have a lot of them) has its cord carefully wound and is “just so” on the shelf.By Betsy Hart , May 18, 2013

Other views: Too few new North Dakota state jobs?

Brock: Self-absorbed Shirvani column off the mark
I’m not a native North Dakotan so perhaps it is why I admire the state so much. People in North Dakotas are consistent, hardy, hardworking, creative, honest and so much more in making the state such a great place to live.By Harvey Brock , May 15, 2013

It should come as no surprise to anyone who follows the news that these past several months have been challenging for me and the members of the State Board of Higher Education.By Hamid Shirvani , May 14, 2013
Letter to the Editor: Lack of government help blocking education chances
Journalism, properly viewed, is not about writing writs, but about righting wrongs. Thus, when I became a campus editor several years ago, it was with the purpose in mine to do my part in helping to correct problems which currently plague our society. In particular, I tried to shed light on the problems in the relationship between higher education and the U.S. Department of Education.By Randy V. Cummings, Dickinson , May 14, 2013

It appears that the cabal opposed to North Dakota’s local property tax system will not be satisfied until the tax is abolished.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead Editorial Board , May 14, 2013

A recent report said that North Dakota is a great place to retire. Apparently, the research was done before our most recent winter, which finally has exited after a six-month stay.By Ryan Bakken , May 14, 2013
Monke: Growing trash problems can be fixed
Trash and littering are becoming hot topics in western North Dakota. Just about anywhere you look, there are plastic bags and paper stuck in fences and sitting in ditches, or beer cans and bottles that have been dropped in random spots.By Dustin Monke , May 12, 2013
