    I think you are correct.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Every session for the last 6 years, at least. I'm not sure it even gets out of committee, but the bill gets filed, its news for one cycle, maybe two, and they kill it.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow.

    IN ND all bills have to come out of committee and go to the chamber floor and voted on unless they are withdrawn by the sponsor. The committee can give it a "Do not pass", recommendation, but it still goes to the floor for a final vote. No pigeon holing bills in ND like they can do in Washington.

    That's great news. Everyone opposed is on the record that way.

    Yes we really needed to lower the tax rate 13% (from 11.5% to 10%) for poor Continental. Harold Hamm the president is only worth 11Billion and but the poor guy had to give his ex wife 995 million because he couldn't keep his pants on. He also bought the fancy bus that Gov. Schafer drove around in wanting to lower the tax rate. Sorry for all you that can't figure it out, its the price of oil. The share price of these companies was down because oil was $20 a barrel. Now its close to $50. Who do you think they donate to?

    End result Al gave out a big oil tax give away. As a leader he refused to use even a very small percentage of the Legacy fund (what is it for after all?). Just using those two would have made a budget disaster much more manageable. Then he tries to totally screw over NDSU. My heavens, I thought legislators were supposed to be working for us. Guess I'm wrong

    Its amazing that we were producing 3% of world oil supply for half a decade and have effectively nothing to show for it. We owe these companies nothing. Expropriate their assets in North Dakota
