Quick Notes
Congratulations to Senator Tim Flakoll, who was elected President Pro Tempore of the North Dakota Senate on Wednesday. Full press release from the Senate Republican Caucus here. Our condolences to State Auditor Bob Peterson and his family, whose father passed away from cancer in Bismarck on Wednesday. Robert W. Peterson served as State Auditor from 1973 until he retired in 1996. Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday at the Baptist Home in Bismarck and at 2 p.m. at Lutheran Church of the Cross in Bismarck. Military graveside services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Tuesday at the North Dakota Veterans Cemetery in Mandan. Flood forecasters on Wednesday urged Red River Valley residents to prepare for a potentially record-setting flood, as the Senate amended for a second time a bill relating to diversion construction. The bill now heads to conference committee with the House. A House Energy Committee approved a bill, co-sponsored by ND Congressman Kevin Cramer, to expedite the construction of the Northern leg of the pipeline. Cramer press release here. Senator John Hoeven and other state leaders called on the Air Force to base the new KC-46 tanker at Grand Forks Air Force Base. Hoeven press release here. The USAF took public comment last night at a community meeting in Grand Forks. HB 1302 on comprehensive DUI reform is expected to pass out of conference committee today, and hit the floor for final passage next week. The bill greatly increases the penalties for DUI's and funds education and treatment programs. Check out this side by side comparison of current and proposed law.
