Schools with the Legacy name have nothing to do with the legacy name yes even I know that but you never really know where the money is do you. I forgot one other other Legacy that they like throwing in our face to mock us. Legany Wealth Management in Fargo and Bismarck on the radio every Sunday Morning 8:30 to 9:30. The  Legacy name is put out there to remind us everyday how we're getting screwed. Today's Herald headline Walking Away comments from longtime Professor Gordon Iseminger says what's going on at UND a lot better than I have. He's disgusted, disappointed, and sickened. We all should be. But like everything else politics come into play. You guys on the right buy all the arguments that is was unforseeen circumstances that cause this. I don't. The big money in this state is in Fargo and they want to make NDSU something really special. UND is competition and there was a comment I read on Bisonville about UND now in the same leagues as SU. He said FU  go away there is only room for one D1 school in this state. The money people in Fargo feel the same way. Open your eyes fellas. 

Yeah, I do know where the Legacy Fund money is.  It's in stocks, bonds, CDs, land, and other investments.  Since its creation, it's made around $300 million in interest and investment gains and is approaching a $4 billion balance.

Prof. Iseminger is sad UND is going to start prioritizing funding because he realized he and his discipline aren't a priority of the state.  

The schools are paid on a formula.  NDSU is being cut.  They just don't have the chicken littles running around screaming about it and the Fargo media is happy to push whatever story Deano puts out about how great he and his school are.

I'd take Ms. Gardner more seriously if her letter was more substance than platitudes.

Define which program cuts concern you. Explain why they shouldn't be cut. And not in generalities. 
Oh, wait, You can't? Because they haven't been enumerated yet? I see. 

 

The State is cutting the budget allocation 20%. There will be pain.
Until you (meaning anyone) internalize that reality, you (meaning anyone) has no business making the decisions.

It just keeps getting crazier with the latest idea to spend big money to build state owned casinos. No money for education but big money for gambling. Gambling over education we should all be insulted. Maybe this is fake news the pr game is played all the time in politics. You can spin anything someone will come on here and say the casinos are a great idea. If we're so broke where is the money going to come from to build the casinos? Why this why now? When you say there's no money.  There should be more chicken littles. 

The gift that keeps on giving the 11th commandment thou shall not speak ill of any fellow Republicans. Who ever came up with that did more for the party than anyone but President Reagan.

Just because somebody throws out the idea of state owned casinos (more as a threat to the tribes than anything) doesn't mean the legislature and governor will actually approve the idea.

This is Al Carlson pitching the bird at Standing Rock for the DAPL mess. The SRST's casino is already bleeding red from the secondary effects of the DAPL protests. Carlson is reminding them that he could completely put them out of business by allowing State owned casino just outside BisMan. I'm sure he's of a mind that would love to take out the rest of the tribal casinos at the same time. 

It's copious quantities of the Carlson Kabul and their cohorts conniving and contriving conspicuously. <-- I have to stop listening to Too Tall Tom's weather forecasts. < facepalm >

That was only $120+ million of actual state money though!  The state is out to get Grand Forks because it didn't force Bismarck to give its tax incentives to downtown Grand Forks or force Sanford to build a big new hospital in a town that it tried to open a clinic in but was blocked by Altru.  Grand Forks never got any flood cash either!
