BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An appeals court ruled Tuesday that a federal judge in North Dakota was correct in not barring police from using harsh methods against Dakota Access pipeline protesters.
There have been no protests since February, but the decision will allow a lawsuit to proceed in which pipeline opponents allege they were subjected to police brutality and their civil rights were violated. They seek unspecified money damages.
Plaintiffs asked federal Judge Daniel Hovland in November 2016 to bar officers from using tactics such as chemical agents and water sprays. He refused and protesters appealed, putting their lawsuit on hold for nine months. It can now proceed.
Law enforcement earlier asked Hovland to dismiss the lawsuit. He hasn’t ruled, though he indicated earlier that protesters are unlikely to succeed.
The Attorney General’s Office of North Dakota’s Consumer Protection Division started an investigation after a consumer complained that she was contacted by phone, even though her phone number is registered on the Do Not Call list. The consumer also complained Rhoden’s company offered to sell her an extended warranty for a vehicle she did not own, according to the attorney general’s office. The consumer said when she questioned the caller, he responded with a threat, telling her he knew where she lived.
Rhoden also runs a website, vehicleprotectiondepartment.net,on which he sells supposed extended warranties.
The state attorney general’s office said Rhoden ignored all efforts by investigators to contact him over several weeks. Rhoden also did not respond to demands for information about solicitation calls his company made to North Dakota residents. He has been banned from making any more solicitations in North Dakota, including selling extended vehicle warranties to North Dakota residents through his website.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s Agriculture Department is extending for a second time the application deadline for a hay transportation aid program.
Monday was the deadline for the program approved by the state Emergency Commission in late August in response to summer-long drought. The group made $1.5 million available to reimburse eligible ranchers for personal and commercial hay-hauling expenses.
Initially, the program was for expenses incurred between June 1 and Oct. 20, and the application deadline was Nov. 3. Late last month the Agriculture Department extended the hauling cutoff date to Nov. 6 and the application deadline to Nov. 13.
Both the application deadline and the hauling cutoff date have now been extended to Friday. State Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring says many ranchers are still transporting hay from long distances.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota’s first family won’t be having Thanksgiving dinner at the new governor’s mansion.
Capitol Facilities Manager John Boyle says officials had hoped for Gov. Doug Burgum to move into a new home by next week. But he says construction of the new 13,600-square-foot home is running a few weeks behind schedule.
Boyle says the completion date is now set for next month.
The Legislature authorized $4 million from the state’s Capitol Building Fund and $1 million from private donations to construct the building.
Boyle says about $850,000 in private money has been raised so far.
Supporters say building a new official home for the governor was more cost-effective than renovating the current mansion, which will be torn down.

MINOT, N.D. (AP) — A trial date is set for the dispute over whether a pioneer village museum can be evicted from the North Dakota State Fairgrounds.
The Minot Daily News reports the civil trial will be held Jan. 30 in the fight between the State Fair Association and the Ward County Historical Society, which runs the Pioneer Village Museum.
The association wants to remove the museum from the fairgrounds to use the property for different purposes. The historical society defends the museum’s right to stay under a 1966 agreement.
Judge Rhonda Ehlis says she’ll decide which entity has rights to the State Fairgrounds property because of the case’s complexity and emotionally charged nature.
The historical society is also seeking money damages to be decided by a jury. Ehlis says those arguments would be considered at a later date.

HOUSTON (AP) — Allegations that former President George H.W. Bush inappropriately touched six women involve potential crimes punishable by fines or jail time, if they had been prosecuted.

And several lawyers say it would be difficult to win a conviction against Bush, who has a rare syndrome that mimics Parkinson’s disease. There’s no indication prosecutors plan to pursue any charges.
