The program will address impacts that the 2017 legislature will have on the community.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A special commissioner appointed by the governor has recommended that suspended McKenzie County Sheriff Gary Schwartzenberger be allowed to return to his post.

Karen Klein says in her recommendation to Gov. Doug Burgum that the state hasn’t provided enough evidence for Schwartzenberger’s removal. Burgum ultimately will decide if Schwartzenberger loses his job permanently.

Schwartzenberger is accused of bullying, retaliation and misusing a county credit card. He’s scheduled for trial in September on a misdemeanor charge.

Schwartzenberger was suspended from his sheriff’s position last November by then-Gov. Jack Dalrymple.

A spokesman for Burgum says there’s no timetable for a decision on whether Schwartzenberger be allowed to return to his duties.

 

 

DENVER (AP) — A lawsuit contesting new rules for hydraulic fracturing on federal land will get its day in court even though President Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t intend to implement them.

Arguments will take place Thursday before the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.

The rules would regulate fracking, the process of cracking open underground oil and gas deposits with pressurized water, sand and chemicals.

Environmentalists say the rules would protect land and water. Two industry groups, an American Indian tribe and the states of Colorado, North Dakota, Utah and Wyoming say the rules developed under President Barack Obama duplicate state regulations and would cost jobs.

Government attorneys say the rule doesn’t reflect Trump administration priorities but they want the case argued anyway while the administration writes new rules.

 

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — American Indian tribes fighting in court to shut down the Dakota Access pipeline are objecting to the possible intervention of national energy and manufacturing trade groups in the dispute.

The groups want a say because they maintain a shutdown of the $3.8 billion pipeline moving North Dakota oil to Illinois would adversely impact the oil industry.

Tribal attorneys say the groups’ arguments are lengthy and duplicate those already made by Texas-based pipeline developer Energy Transfer Partners and federal officials who permitted the project.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg last month ordered the Army Corps of Engineers to further review the pipeline’s impact on the Standing Rock Sioux. He’s deciding whether to shut down the pipeline in the meantime. He’ll also decide whether the national trade groups get a say in the matter.

 

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota regulators have approved a $150 million expansion of a natural gas processing plant in McKenzie County.

The Wild Basin Gas Plant is in the most prolific part of the Bakken oil patch in northwestern North Dakota. It currently can process about 80 million cubic feet of natural gas per day. The project will expand that to 280 million cubic feet daily.

It will be the largest natural gas processing complex in the state. Public Service Commission Chairman Randy Christmann says it’s “one of the biggest steps ever taken in North Dakota to decrease flaring” of excess natural gas.

The three-member PSC on Wednesday approved the project planned by Oasis Midstream Services about 6 miles northeast of Watford Ci

MICHAEL VICK-SPORTS HALL…

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) — Public opposition is growing against the planned induction of former football star Michael Vick into the Virginia Tech Sports Hall of Fame.

The Roanoke Times reports that two online petitions at change.org had received more than 90,000 combined signatures against the September induction.

The university in Blacksburg has continued to defend its recent decision, noting that some believe Vick is the greatest athlete in school history.

The former NFL Pro Bowl quarterback served 19 months in federal prison on 2007 dogfighting convictions.
