America must promise Boston justice will come
Not so long ago, terrorism evoked not only distress and confusion but also hand-wringing. What is to be done? In an age where one person or one group can wreak such havoc, is there any useful way to respond?By Tom Dennis , April 17, 2013
Stop drive to weaken a good law
Rep. Todd Porter, R-Mandan, is on his third attempt to remove respected conservation organizations from representation on the North Dakota Outdoor Heritage Conservation Fund’s advisory board. His motivation is suspect.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead Editorial Board , April 17, 2013
Other views: Listen to voices from West
News out of North Dakota’s Oil Patch last week confirmed the industrial boom is chugging along at a brisk pace. Also confirmed: Problems generated by oil and gas development are chugging along, too. Legislators, regulators and slick feel-good TV ads can paint lipstick on the pig, but it’s still a pig.By Editorial Board , April 16, 2013
Our View: ND Republicans must stand up for the greater good
It’s clear there are some Republicans in the North Dakota Legislature far more interested in their own agendas than the greater good of the state.By The Dickinson Press Editorial Board , April 14, 2013
Other views: ‘Process’ little more than stunt
It’s still a work in progress, but if a North Dakota House subcommittee prevails, an improved and eminently fair higher education funding formula will be shredded.April 12, 2013
Other views: Make those guilty of damages pay for road repairs
Road repairs should be paid by those guilty of causing the damage. Over the last few weeks, the Williams County Commission has spent a lot of time talking about repairing the damage being done to county roads by trucks related to the oil field.April 11, 2013
Other views: ND should work toward raises for teachers
Over the last two months, members of the North Dakota Legislature have battled over how to spend the state’s newfound windfall.April 06, 2013
Other views: A curious referral campaign
The intention of a truck driver and a libertarian to refer North Dakota’s recently signed abortion laws appears to be more bluster than substance.April 06, 2013
Dennis: In North Dakota as elsewhere, zealotry makes bad policy
In recent weeks, the North Dakota Legislature has seen too much lawmaking for a cause and not enough lawmaking for the state.By Tom Dennis , April 03, 2013
Other view: Many ‘ifs’ in Red River flood outlook
After last week’s meetings with city and county flood experts, Forum editors and reporters learned that while Fargo and Moorhead are up to holding back a major flood, Cass and Clay counties will be dealing with overland and river flooding that, at certain elevations, can’t be stopped.April 03, 2013
Monke: Transition to new role a whirlwind experience
Most years, this past week was the one when I would typically stroll into the office casually late and maybe, if I really wanted to, punch out a short story before leaving early and relishing the so-called “dead times” between the winter and spring sports seasons.By Dustin Monke , March 31, 2013
Other views: Northwest ND water authority creates its own monopoly
Somewhere along the line, the idea behind the Western Area Water Supply Authority has changed, and certainly not for the better.March 30, 2013
Other views: Governor sincere but wrong
There is no reason to doubt Gov. Jack Dalrymple was sincere when he signed three bills that will make North Dakota’s anti-abortion laws the most restrictive in the nation. But being sincere does not ameliorate being wrong.March 29, 2013
Other Views: Oil Patch crimes more than statistics
Two recent murders in North Dakota’s Oil Patch, this time in Williams County (Williston), do not of themselves constitute a crime wave. But the increase in serious and not-so-serious crime does.By Forum Editorial Board , March 26, 2013
Zaleski: Palin-Paul a dream ticket — for Democrats
The best thing that could happen to Democrats in the run-up to the 2016 election campaign is a Republican slate of Sarah Palin for president and Rand Paul for her running mate. It’s a dream ticket for Democrats, a nightmare for Republicans.March 26, 2013
