    Default A new attack dog on Bresciani

    It looks like a Minot legislator is planning on introducing a bill that will really cripple how the Foundation assists the President of any University in North Dakota. While I am no fan of Prez B, this bill is another attempt at over reach by a Western ND legislator.

    I found the part about the suite catering interesting. Wonder what they order for the suite?

    We are cutting state budgets and we worry about this stuff. Red herring
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    The ONLY positive thing I read in the article is that the Bill is NOT being introduced until the legislature is in session.
    Hopefully his counterparts will realize that its not very good and will never get introduced.

    The target here should be the State Board of Higher Education and their dumb policy concerning travel accommodations and the like befitting the Chief Executive of an operation the size of a State University.

    The insanity of not allowing upgrades unless a 3rd party pays for them (a less charitable phrasing would be 'legally sanctioned bribe') is only exceeded by the hypocrisy of someone in this state legislature complaining about it while doing nothing to fix their own campaign finance rules. Not that there's anything going on but this guy could have deposited campaign contributions into a personal bank account and used the money to buy himself a retirement home in Phoenix and there's no way anyone could find out about it. But somehow the President of NDSU being able to take a nap and get some work done on an international business trip is a serious problem that must be addressed?

    Totally stupid legislation.

    Nothing wrong with what Pres B did.

    Get your own budget in order and quit worrying about how a Pres of #1 research institution in the state flies.....

    There was a bill introduced last session to change the practice of letting legislators dump campaign contributions into their personal accounts---of course it failed. I am sure our good friend from Minot voted to ban the practice.
    The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

    You can't fix stupid. From his webpage....

    Limited Government
    Government should provide only the functions that cannot be done by individuals or private businesses. The best form of government is one that governs the least.

    I guess it's only limited government when it fits your agenda. Otherwise pile on the legislation. What a moron.
