[tony]

Dumbass or liar, it doesn't really matter, the results are the same.

Holmberg: "Well look at NDSU's tuition waivers." What does that have to do with state funding? I wish that he and his cronies could make up their minds whether NDSU is charging too much or too little tuition.

[Tatanka]

Interesting, Holmberg's descriptions of the two schools: "land-grant" and "agriculture" mission vs "comprehensive research university with a medical school". What exactly are you trying to say there senator asshat?

oh, and which school is actually recognized by Carnegie with its highest ranking for research?

Go back to owning your goat you pompous choad.

[perthbison]

When you read Holmbergs answer, he really gives himself away to being a und homer and wishes to favor them heavily. There is really no point to arguing with someone with such a bias. The only solution would be to get rid of him and replace him with a person who is fair and equitable.

Ray Holmberg allegations.
Joel Heitkamp spent 30 minutes (pulled no punches) Friday telling Ray to quit leave in shame.
Good source told me a few years ago Al Carlson and Ray did not like each other.
When do you quit. When do you fight.
If you messed up do you quit? If you think there out to get you a plot do you fight? Yes
It's your legacy. If it's me I'd fight like hell before I go down in history in shame. I'd want a face to face meeting with my accusers. Only you know if you messed up or if it's a hatchet job. Even if you messed up I'd want a hearing. Ask questions how you got all your information. We still have rights.
Ray if you think something stinks.
Fight, fight like hell.

Years ago in a bar in Minneapolis drinking with some locals we were talking about money in North Dakota. I said I was from Grand Forks he tells me I know ND and there's no money in Grand Forks compared to Fargo.

And the reality is that there is no political power in Grand Forks. UND had been in decline for decades. I don't believe the enrollment numbers. 40 buildings demolished. Nickname gone. Ya it sure looks like Ray was in control.

The North Dakota Republican Party must have a Lee Atwater type brain planning the PR moves when it comes to Ray Holmberg. The only comments I've heard about Ray have come from a Democrat Joel Heitkamp Maybe some Republicans have commented about Ray and I haven't heard it.

If you can't trust your defense attorney, then who can you trust? I'm not sure why he thinks he needs a defense attorney, but I doubt he's worried about Grand Forks charges - I'm not sure the Grand Forks DA could get a jury to convict the Red River of being wet if they had a confession signed in water.

If Ray did have to go to court he doesn't want to appear before Judge Ralph Erickson. Thief River Falls native. Like somebody else. Didn't take Ralph long to put the Fighting Sioux Nickname into the trash heap oh history. Maybe Ralph is ready for round 2.

So Ray has the famous Vogel Attorney. It may work like this for Ray. Lose your job, lose in court, lose a lot of money.

I've delt with The Vogel Law Firm twice.

In my pretrial practice class we did "depositions" and we got that answer quite regularly. Had to use our materials to refresh their memories!

We were also advised by our professors (SEC attorneys) to instruct our "clients" to not answer questions unless they were positive about the answer....or rather say "I dont recall" or something similar.

Not sure how it works in the real world or how different MTG's hearing was, I've heard her talk enough times I would rather not subject myself to that.

A party boss gave money to a private foundation run by his own brother to send teachers overseas for reasons; that is nepotism (as well as corrupt as hell.)

Heck, the brother and Ray went on multiple trips together - nobody knows how many because they also decided that they shouldn't have to report the who and why to anybody.

He literally wrote an article about it today and referenced multiple other articles he's written on it in the past.

The Herald had the Holmberg story for about 4 hours and then nothing.

I think I see where the problem came with this "travel for teachers" deal... it was supposed to be pedagogical travel.

Yeah, it was only in bright red as breaking news for most of the day and there are still 2 stories on their front page in regards to it. But other than that, nothing. Not sure what exactly you're looking for or complaining about, but apparently for no other news to happen I guess?

You see what you want to see I guess. I know some people that questioned the Forum for burying a much, much more minor story that related to NDSU last week. Don't even think it made the front of the web page. It is what it is I guess.

a real journalist would take my post of 5-6 child predators/child porn ring in grand forks and tie them all together into a story and ask "what the hell is in the water up there?"

I wonder what is on the ND Ethics Commission's agenda for their December meeting?

Call me cynical, but I don't like seeing corporate lawyers on ethics commissions because their primary job is/was covering asses.

Does the commission view the ND citizenry as their clients or do they exist to cover the asses of the fossil dinosaur turd collection in Bismarck?

I looked at some of their decisions - and I saw a lot of verbiage about the Century Code rather than anything related to ethics - and that's just the kind of garbage you get from lawyers who decide that ethics is whatever you can get away with according to the "letter of the law."

Example: The North Dakota Family Alliance is buying dinner for the legislature and other political bigwigs and lobbying them while doing so. But they aren't serving alcohol. So free stuff from a fake dark money group masquerading as a charity! Legal so therefore ethical! Yay, ethics!

Port has been very critical of Trump and the lack of ethics by our Republican state legislators and fundraising organizations in the past several months.

…just not usually when those legislators have close UND ties.

I must have missed it buried under the huge headline breaking news of the Fargo Theater not allowing an off-duty cop to bring a gun into their premise. My mistake.

It appears the only person shamelessly and pathetically defending that university anymore is you.

Port has been all over this story and a lot of other ND gov't shenanigans from both stupid major political parties over the last 2 years. I strongly dislike his viewpoint of collegiate athletics and higher education in general, but am 100% on board with how he takes Republicans (especially the Trumper faction) and Democrats to task on a regular basis.

I don’t disagree and I have noticed he’s hard on Trumpers, too. It doesn’t make his shameless clear bias against NDSU any more digestible and even though this particular topic may be an exception to that bias, he can still go fuck himself.

That's fair, and also why I feel a little dirty when I find myself agreeing with him on such a regular basis on other topics.

I've been wondering about this, if they teach ethics at UND Law School besides "How much of a cunt can I be before I get censured or go to jail?", do they use the North Dakota Century Code as their primary reference?

So does the studying the North Dakota Century Code play a big part of preparing for those tests?

Honest to pete, my mom worked in public service, and she didn't have to look at the North Dakota Century Code to determine if something was ethical or not.

Pro-tip: If you have to ask if an action is legal, it's highly unlikely that it's ethical.

Zilch. I wouldn't go that far on the pro-tip, plenty of ethical things are illegal and vice versa.

You'd think that state funds used to fund pedophilia tourism would be a bigger story nationally <= allegedly

Here's a case where nepotism would be an accurate word choice, El Chapo.

A party boss gave money to a private foundation run by his own brother to send teachers overseas for reasons; that is nepotism (as well as corrupt as hell.)

However, about those teachers.... after thinking about it, they decided it would be better to send political cronies on taxpayer-funded trips. Heck, the brother and Ray went on multiple trips together - nobody knows how many because they also decided that they shouldn't have to report the who and why to anybody.

I kinda think, in light of this, that every politician should have to list every single trip they took while in office that they didn't pay for themselves.

Come on Tony, rules are for other people.

You didn't answer my question, but, yeah, that's my whole point: The North Dakota Century Code is a collection of statues, not a guidebook on ethics so why is it seemingly the North Dakota ETHICS Commission sole source for making decisions?

And while I can think of some acts that might be illegal and yet ethical, they usually involve unjust laws so I'm having a hard time figuring out an example of scenario where this would apply to a ND state legislator. Can you give me some hypothetical situations?

On the flip side, I can think of all sorts of things that aren't illegal according to the ND Century Code but still highly unethical.
