It actually went all the way to the ND Supreme Court. His mother-in-law was transferring land to him and his wife that should have gone, or shared, with to her step-sisters and step-brother. They even are keeping land that the steps mother had inherited from her family. Berg's mother-in-laws reasoning? They are not her kids and she can do what ever she wants with their mother's land.

I have known Rick since undergrad school and the guy is perhaps one of the scummiest opportunists I have ever met. Good luck with that liar as the Congessman. Community Topics of interest at UND, in Grand Forks, and in North Dakota. No politics, please. We don't need your political mudslinging here. 1

What is to be expected when a politician retiring is a thread topic? Maybe some political discussion? BFD I understand the board rules prohibit such discussion, but considering the title of the thread, maybe you should have made a choice to avoid the topic. My $.02.

Agree...to me, when I read Wyo's post it was a personal shot at Berg from someone who knows him to an extent. Didn't get any political bent there???

I know how he conducted business from the very beginning in the Fargo real estate business and is was without ethics. I will also (in the interest of disclosure) say I am a Democrat (a Dem from the left wing of the party). That being said......Berg is a slumlord. And....by the way....Conrad does not exactly WOW me either. At any rate, ND could have done a lot better in Congress that slummy Rick.

Flood protection will not get done unless ND pays for it. There will be no federal money for flood protection in a teabagger controlled U.S. House. I hardly think that Rick Berg will bring in no federal money for the flood control project, that's a project that will get attention from the GOP and the DNC. The Congress isn't controlled by the "TEA PARTY"...

The first post in the thread was simply stating a fact: Conrad is retiring. Mr. WYO Bison turned into a personal slam and political name calling we have all grown to loath during the campaign. I suspect Mr. WYO frustration has more to do with the R behind Berg's name then anything else. I'm not an R or a D, so don't think I'm being one sided here. Another thing to consider is that Berg has nothing to do with the Conrad seat or the US Senate, so why was his name even dragged into this? 1

As one who loves the "R", you are being presumptive and that's being generous and kind! I will give you your last point though.

They will not get the money like Grand Forks did without Pomeroy, Dorgan, and Conrad. A flood protection bill will still be an earmark bill, just like many highway funding bills.

Whereas Arizona actually cut the funding from someone leaving them to die. So you are saying that the Republicans will support a bill for at least 800 million, for one town, without having the political power to make it happen? Why do you think Walalker endorsed Pomeroy instead of a Fargo resident? I would wager that Walaker's heart dropped when he heard Conrad was not running.
