HaakJessicaJamesestown (CSi) – Dist 12 State Representative (D) Jessica Haak responding to the Governor’s bueget cut request says:

 Further cuts this will continue to hurt District 12’s working families. Rep. Jessica Haak issued the following statement:

“The lack of leadership and an unwillingness to hold a brief, strictly-focused special　legislative session to help reverse the harsh, across-the-board cuts by Governor　Dalrymple and the Republican leadership　is incredibly disappointing. This　reduction impacts nursing homes, hospitals, children who receive therapy services,　families who are looking for and need affordable childcare, especially children with　special needs, and everyone who pays property taxes. We need solutions that stand　up for all North Dakotans, not across-the-board reductions. That’s why we need a　special session to seek accountability and target ways to address fiscal challenges　without hurting domestic violence survivors, seniors, and hard working North Dakota　families.”
