Excellent news finding out about this bill and its passing. This will further make ND an excellent choice for doing oil related business. The taxes were too high and it was going to hurt the state long term. The state has plenty of revenue and should focus on reducing spending and leaving as much money as possible with the private sector, that is the people. It is not the state's job to soak up as munch money as possible, but rather it is the state's goal to provide the essentials as efficiently and cost effectively as possible so that the maximum amount of money can be left with the people who earned it.

The tax cut is a good thing. It will further ensure a good climate for oil related business in ND. The state has plenty of revenue and needs to reduce spending back to levels similar to what they were about 5 years ago. ----------- Who's to say that this tax bill would not have happened regardless of Hamm's donation? That connection cannot and should not be made.

Williams is just as classy as her brother I guess...

Apparently more people than just Carson like this, the bill passed 90-4 in the house.

Thursday is fine if you're a local (same with Friday). But if you live out of town (western NoDak, etc.) than the Saturday game is the only one that you can attend. And besides, nothing makes a weekend like the Fri/Sat series. They just rule. Its kinda like NFL on Sundays, the consistency is just awesome. Yeah and MNF is good and all, and maybe an occasional Thur. hockey game would have the same special feel, but nothing beats the good old Fri/Sat series.

I strongly prefer Fri/Sat series's.

What does that mean?

And to clarify what I said earlier, I believe that both the senate and house would have to pass it and then it would have to get the A OK from the people.

Well I suppose pros are that the individual colleges get to stay in the constitution, so there would be no closings, the people would have more of a say in how the higher ed board is ran, and the board would be more accountable to the people through the legislature. The cons would be that the board would lose some of it independence from political stuff and its a change of the status quo plus the colleges stay in constitution. I believe it would be a good change. The current status quo is broken. I think putting more of the power in control of the people through a direct election of the higher ed chancellor/president is a good thing because ultimately the schools are for the people and the people pay for the schools. I also like that there will be more accountability to the people this way through both the direct election of the chancellor/president and through the increased influence of the legislature, who represent the people. I also like that whole thing would fully fall under state statutes. I think it would be an improvement over the current set up.

It would go to a vote of the people.

Well those people wanted the cheaper, Minnesota option... As well, engineering doesn't matter. What it comes down to is that if the diversion goes through, it will ruin the livelihoods of all of the rural folks and farmers that live in the area to be impacted by the lake. That is just wrong.

I support this move. The current structure of the SBoHE does not work and needs to be changed/eliminated.

This is awesome. I am not opposed to flood protection for Fargo, but the diversion/dam is a terrible way to go about it.

oh ok. Nevermind then.

I don't know guys... SFI tweeted it, not Sioux crew. I think SFI was just tweeting to all UND fans and the nodak nation thing was just a coincidence.

Golly the SFI guys have more connections.... its crazy

Not necessary.

Golly that is a terrible powerplay.

3rd on the night

YEAH YEAH YEAH

You'd think Grafton and Red River would be a pretty good draw. And the Sioux are out of town.

Go Grafton tomorrow night.

Should be a couple of good games tomorrow.

Thanks

Is there an online stream for the radio?
