My guess is Doug is slipping the opposing teams some Benjamin's to make sure he gets a free lane to the rim whenever he wants!
He’s top 5 richest NoDaks ya I suppose Doug gets the ball passed to him.

Since this is the March Madness thread. With the Grand Am going on in GF an article in the Herald today caught my eye. Gov. Doug Bergum is still playing amateur BB. Way to go Doug. He is just a couple years younger than me and I haven't played for 7 years or so. Him still playing makes me want to make a comeback. Drop a few pounds I think I could still do it.

Since you have extolled the virtues of Groenwold and his black widow wife who was a state representative, that more than explains your paranoia about state government out to get Grand Forks. They are the only ones possible to actually give a wonderful government and develop businesses, and we should be worshipping their high and mightiness, at least according to them who treated like crap any person that disagreed with them. Single handedly set back Grand Forks by their nastiness and vindictiveness, and the rest of the state hated and blamed Grand Forks for delivering them to to state offices. They provided a perfect cover for their own narratives and unfortunately, you and others still recite their virtues and philosophies.
There’s people ND who have or had power in this state who have said your town GF is a shithole. In the Groenwolds your talking about one guy or woman who had very little or no political power and it showed they got canned. Groenwold stuck up for UND and GF when he told them to stick it when they told him to move his operation to Bismarck. A hero on that issue.

Wake up call. When the Israeli Company Elbit is taking there operations to Casselton. And Grand Sky is limited who can go there because of It being on a Military Base. We are not in the game. No place for Drone Companies to set up shop. There isn’t a city I can think of that it makes more sense to have one. If a Drone Company wanted to come to GF and work with Aerospace what do we tell them go to Fargo?

Is GF squandering a dream opportunity by not having it’s own Drone Park? YES
Majors offered at UND Bachelor of Science in Aeronauticals. Majoring in Unmanned Aircraft System Operations Tax Base
Asking people who have given to UND and GF to take a good hard look at this and help.
Engelstad, Rydell, Altru and anybody else it may benefit you to.

In one of your older posts you said Sales Tax will eventually be a lot higher like 10%. We should look hard at a national sales to fund our country. The top rates especially corporate will continue to be cut because there will always be that country that will lower tax rates that make our rates uncompetitive. Since 1980 what tax rates have gone up and what rates have gone done. Tells the story. Property taxes will eventually have to go up because the States the Feds and keep saying there's no money. How much can a city cut. OK cut 5% this year fine how many times can you cut 5%. If the cost of doing business like the cost of cement keep going up how do you pay your bills.

What Grand Forks badly needs is a home grown corporation. A listed successful corporation brings much wealth, which creates opportunities throughout the community. Fargo had one in Great Plains software, and its just grown from there after being swallowed up by Microsoft, releasing a billion in capital and attracting more programming talent. Brookings has one via Daktronics. Thief River Falls, Warroad, Roseau and Greenbush all have theirs too, otherwise those communities would look more like Halstad or Crookston, whichnstill rely on agriculture and government. Branch operations are nice and provide jobs, but don’t bring in nearly the wealth and corporate affluence.
We all remember EERCs Gerald Groenwold and his attempts to bring Industry to GF or maybe you didn't know. He failed in every attempt I know of to bring industry here. People I know who work there told.me.Who stopped his attempts. We all know Bisnarck wanted him to move his operation there. He told them no. And his days were numbered. Kelly had the police escort him off campus.
He then sued Kelly and SBHE for 2.9 Million. So there is history to make me or any other fair minded to see the state bias against GF.So for me to look at Grand Sky and think they didn't want GF to have a drone park has merit and history.I don't trust them.

NDSU wants a piece of the UAV action
Fargo Puts on a large Drone Focus Conference
And now the new Drone company moving just outside Fargo in Casselton.
Fargo is going to do anything it takes to get a piece of the drone industry pie.
Grand Forks is asleep at the switch with the states tricks. Put a Drone Park on the base and GF won’t build one. We have one of the top Aerospace schools in the country and we don’t want our own Park? Grand Sky belongs to the State they proposed it had seed money for it fine go for it.
The city of GF just put 6 Million into the Business Park we have. Grand Forks should build this with city dollars. Don’t trust outsiders to build it it may be a scam to keep GF from having one.

You just described the problem with Grand Forks. They are their own worst enemy, not the state, not Fargo, not Casselton. The leadership in Grand Forks.
They wont invest in anything or seem to allow any growth to happen. Housing is not affordable. It’s growth seems to be limited by a few. The infrastructure needs work. Downtown could be great but let’s not change it.
So you are left with what’s there, a bunch of things that are ok but nothing is great. Potential is there for a great campus, great facility for conferences, great downtown, great concert venues.
They just need to get new leadership in place that is aggressive and isn’t in it for themselves. The state isn’t the enemy you keep trying to make them out to be.
The State isn’t the enemy you keep trying tp make them out to be.Wrong. Economic Development is DIRTY Business.They do plot and scem.They do things and are getting away with it.

Grand Forks should invest city dollars and build its own Drone Park. Aerospace is here. What better place to have one. A Drone Park in GF should have happened years ago. Maybe the state put one at the base to stop GF from breaking ground on there own. The longer you wait the more you lose.
if cities can invest money to build Business Parks they can do the same for Drone Park.Get going on it.

I grow up on the Airforce base and recently visited the base over Christmas break thinking of transfering to UND.I was so depressed to see how small it has become. I am interested, I haven't heard much about the UAV. If chosen how many personel would be added. I just saw the news for it and It seems like a very small project right now. http://www.wdaz.com/...ticle/id/17643/
225 acers is not much. So I can't expect it to bring the base back to life even if it works out we get it.
225 acres is not much. Was Grand Sky put on the base as a way to limit it's potential. These guys do not like GF or UND in my opinion. This is just like money to fight the Red River in Fargo. Fargo said they waited every other city got there water projects done. It was good to wait they got at least 5 times what the other cities got.
Economic development in ND is rigged. College growth is rigged. When the Fargo Air Guard went to a Drone Mission they had it all planned out Fargo SU leaders in that technology.
Quote 225 acres is not much. So I can't expect it to bring the base back to life even if it works out we get it. As I said Grand Sky an idea to control and limit it's potential.

Grand Sky
in Community

Grand Forks needs it’s own Drone Park. Vladimir Putin quote. We live in a competitive world are we are not among it’s leaders. Grand Forks if it’s growing it’s at a snails pace. Drones could be a game changer for this community. Once in a generation or century opportunity. I’m disappointed more on this site doesn’t see it. You snooze you loose.
Did the state put Grand Sky at the Base to keep GF from developing it’s own. Makes sense to me.
