Impressed With China
Days before I left to go to China a liberal friend of mine said he was interested to see if my political views might change upon being in China. His angle was, "yeah, they're communist, but look at th...

Letter to the Editor: Cramer correct to defend morality in speech
I think Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., hit the nail on the head when he said “We’ve normalized perversion and perverted God’s natural law to the point where the only thing not tolerated anymore is a stand for the truth.”By Louis Dorval, Dickinson , May 21, 2013
Letter to the Editor: Grad class ganders while Cramer panders
I feel for the graduating class at the University of Mary. It’s a fine school, and the grads were entitled to a fine speech — unlike the pandering horseflop they actually got.By Jim Walsh, Bismarck , May 21, 2013

Hoeven: A victory for the Missouri River Basin
This week, we scored a major victory for the people who live and work throughout the Missouri River basin. The U.S. Senate passed the States’ Water Rights Act, legislation I introduced and attached to the Water Resources Development Act (WRDA) to bar the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from charging a storage fee for water drawn from the Missouri River reservoirs.By John Hoeven , May 19, 2013
Omdahl: A big chunk of ND 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.”By Lloyd Omdahl , May 19, 2013
Monke: Dickinson undergoing fast, amazing changes
Dickinson is a community changing so rapidly it’s almost to the point where it’s difficult to know exactly what is going where. Seemingly every day, a new building or business pops up.By Dustin Monke , May 19, 2013
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
Byrd: The speck in Cramer's eye

Other views: Too few new North Dakota state jobs?
North Dakota will add 144 full-time equivalent positions to state government’s workforce in the next few months. The 2013 Legislature approved the job growth. Gov. Jack Dalrymple’s budget proposal had called for more state employees in specific classifications to deal with rapidly rising demand for state services.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead Editorial Board , May 16, 2013
Other views: Shirvani’s job review: failure
What are we to make of an announcement May 9 that the State Board of Higher Education passed a resolution to conduct a job performance review of Chancellor Hamid Shirvani?By Minot Daily News Editorial Board , May 16, 2013
Other views: Shirvani’s management style matters — a lot
As all of us have learned at our mother’s knee, “thank you” is a phrase that goes a long way.By Grand Forks Herald editorial board , May 16, 2013
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
