More legislative shenanigans by Al Carlson

[Christopher Moen]

Legislators aren't subject to open records requests and they can do whatever they please with campaign contributions. I don't know who's paying Port now but before The Forum it used to be the Kochs.

So not all government related business is held to the same rules and standards? From an outsider's point of view, there's a lost fishiness going on in the State Government of North Dakota. Seems like there is no checks and balances.

There are lots of checks to the legislators.

5 trips to Dairy Queen/day for the Portly one. That's being conservative.

Amazing how the news stations have no interest in exposing dirty Al for what he is, apparently he isn't the only one with hands in other peoples pockets.....

The legislative ethics committee oversees this sort of stuff. If North Dakota had one.

Continental Resources one of the largest if not the largest in ND went from about a high of $79 in Apr 14 to a low of about $17 in Feb 15, I would call that the toilet when they put through the tax cut it has rebounded now to $43 today. The tax cut didn't bring it back though but their shares were in the toilet when it was passed.

Continental Resources had a 2:1 split on Sept. 11, 2014. I'd say that and oil prices being cut in half had more to do with their stock prices than the tax cut.

You missed the point. Higher taxes make it more difficult to do business in our state which has more challenges in this play than say West Texas.
