Shawn-O Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Don't worry guys, I've found the source of the overruns ... Chapman and Paulsen like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Chapman and Paulsen like this! Why, you.... (shake fist) : Hehe, well Paulsen is not on the board anymore so that's an old picture. BTW, Kupchella was supposed to be in that photo, but, as was his wont, he was nowhere within 1000 miles of Grand Forks at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I think the fundamental issue is this: What was the $904k limit intended for: - strictly dwelling? - site plus dwelling? - site plus dwelling plus landscaping? - what about support infrastructure? Was that in the $904k? - how about furnishings? That's the question I haven't heard answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 KFGO.com is reporting that the NDSU president's house total has crossed into the $2 million range. http://www.kfgo.com/news_Detail.php?ID=9383 Worse? ND State Sen. John Andrist (Crosby, ND, not MN like the KFGO story says) thinks a criminal investigation is warranted. Why? Well the president's house, and now this revelation ... Board members are also concerned that Barry Hall, NDSU's new business college, is costing $3-million more than expected. http://www.kfgo.com/news_Detail.php?ID=9382 I wonder how Bill Goetz is feeling about taking that 'cushy' Chancellor of the NDUS position now.

How about Sporty Joes wife getting paid $50,000 a year by the foundation to do "something". But, I am sure it isn't his fault and he is a great guy.

GeauxSioux Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 NDSU (Cow College) President's Palace Costs Rise to 2 Million DollarsThere’s no way that this is a simple cost overrun. This is a willful breaking of state law. Aren’t there supposed to be serious consequences for that? My suggestion when this first came out is that they should find another use for the building until the current president leaves Silo Tech. There’s no way that you reward him with a palace like this. Taxpayers have also had to provide the President a bodyguard when he goes to public events. Can you say ego-growth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darell1976 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I listened to KFGO this afternoon and they said over 400,000 for landscaping, and 50,000 for an outdoor bathroom plus over 100,000 to redo Joe's office. WTF?!! Someone called in to the radio station and said he should be fired. Well something should be done and i think old Joe's salary should go to make up the difference on the house and not one cent should be from the taxpayers which i can see where this is headed. I feel like driving over to the house and knocking the damn thing down. And Bison fans cry for a new basketball stadium....good luck with that. LOL!!

darell1976 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Why does the president of a state school in North Dakota need that expensive of a house? Some woman caller it was probably his wife said they needed a house like that for entertaining, recruiting, etc. She said she can understand why they built a $50,000 crapper. Mike McFeeley was livid at her and i was laughing until McFeeley said the cost may be made up by the taxpayers. If that is the case and my money goes to that house i will drive over and demanded to walk through "my" house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YOU'RE making a very good salary in ND and LIVING RENT-FREE (not to mention utilities, cable internet and tv, plus your phone bill FREE!!!) If I donated money to the UND foundation and found out it went to President Kellys' wife to make it "worth her while"? to go to a party??? $50,000 would pay for a LOT of student scholarships and I predict Mrs. MUMMY will come out in the next couple days and offer to "turn over" her salary for NDSU students....WAIT! Mark this comment....(I guarentee IT WILL come TRUE!) $50,000 would pay for a LOT of student scholarships and I predict Mrs. MUMMY will come out in the next couple days and offer to "turn over" her salary for NDSU students ...lets wait and see...
