    I am donating to whoever runs against him. He is in district 41. Time for him to be done.

    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    I don't say this very often, but I'll be listening to McFeely this morning.

    One of the reasons that you want a two-party system is that it is supposed to guarantee that somebody will speak up about the other side's malfeasance... but, on a lot of issues, the opposition party is completely silent. In this case, it's because the opposition's mouthpiece supports legislation, no matter how evil, if it screws NDSU. I'm talking about Joel Heitkamp, for one, and Mike Jacobs as another. They could be hammering Big Al and company, but they are silent - and even supportive. Hell, they have themselves twisted up in knots so much that they blame NDSU for ND legislators being crooked.

    Here are some facts:

    1. A group of legislators tried to shut down a nursing program in Bismarck, and then said that what the amendment said wasn't what they were meaning to do. Liars.
    2. A group of legislators tried to take another $3.5 million from NDSU for no other reason that NDSU was trying to serve the state. I'm guessing that they were pissed because if they could have put the nursing school on the table, then they could have used it to trade for something else and spent more money in the process.
    3. UND's budget is bigger than NDSU's. But, somehow, NDSU's budget cut is $5 million deeper than UND's. Why? Because "fuck NDSU", that's why.
    4. While every institution is getting drastic cuts, a group of legislators decided to increase UND's Medical School budget by fourteen percent.
    5. Not satisfied with raising the Med School's budget by a sum nearly equal to Williston State's entire state general funding is, a group of legislators is trying to raid something called the Student Loan Trust Fund to the tune of $15 million for the benefit of UND's medical school.

    So what's the reaction for Heitkamp and Mike Jacobs? Well, I don't know about the former, but Jacobs wrote this story: http://bismarcktribune.com/news/loca...a2e40c636.html

    The fate of the Sanford program in the long term might not be decided ahead of this week’s deadline. A number of alternatives were suggested, including attaching it to Dickinson State University, where budget cuts have been deeper than at any other North Dakota college.

    It’s too late to make that happen this session,” said House Majority Leader Al Carlson, R-Fargo, “but it’s something we should look at in the future.”
    The Bismarck Tribune also ran an editorial suggesting the same solution, "Rent too damn high. Give it to Dickinson State." http://bismarcktribune.com/news/opin...c1ffa85b3.html

    One possibility being floated is attaching the NDSU program to the nursing program at Dickinson State University.

    Why is he trying to trade land that is not in his district?

    This is just a guess but his career as a contractor may have something to do with it.

    Al doesn't care about his district or the state for that matter, Al only cares about Al.
    NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

    So Mcfeely states NDSU land is valued at 12.4 Million and the land KJOS wanted to give NDSU is valued at 4.3 million.

    8.1 Million Difference

    KJOS did say they would throw in a few million cash.

    Crooked AL and KJOS investments had been working on it for over a year. Someone needs to confront him on radio and ask him.

    Perhaps Al is unaware that NDSU is owned by the people of North Dakota that he is supposed to represent? I mean, clearly, he must not be aware of this, so someone should let him know.

    I had emailed my Senator in Bismarck about this last week. He was checking on it. I have not heard back from him. This is such BS that Carlson would do this. Drain the Swamp....
