BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Democrats lack candidates for 10 state House seats and three seats in the state Senate, and Republicans aren’t fielding anyone for either chamber in a district that includes an American Indian reservation in the north-central part of the state.
Monday was the deadline for candidates to file for the June primary election.
Republicans already hold an 81-13 advantage in the House and a 38-9 edge in the Senate.
In the statewide races, filings show state three candidates who did not get the GOP endorsement for North Dakota’s lone congressional seat are moving on to the primary.
Candidates who are endorsed at North Dakota’s Democratic and Republican conventions are guaranteed a place on the primary ballot. But any candidate may run by collecting signatures from at least 300 voters.

Betty Jo Krenz, of Woodworth, is accused of taking $1,800 from a Medford, Oregon couple to arrange an adoption that never materialized. Krenz is charged in Stutsman County with theft of services, as well as another felony accusing her of using personal information without permission.

A call for comment went unanswered at Krenz’s home Tuesday.

Wahpeton (WDAY) The trail date for Andrew Sadek has been pushed back
At a court hearing Monday morning, a judge ruled the attorneys should have access to documents.
Andrew Sadek, the 20 year old North Dakota State College Of Science student who worked as a confidential drug informant, was found dead in the red river in Wahpeton with a gunshot wound in the summer of 2014.
Two years ago his parents, brought a civil lawsuit for their son’s death to court, against Richland County claiming wrongful death, fraud, and deceit.
WDAY reports that the trial date was set for this month, but a Fargo attorney working for the Sadek family, Tatum O’Brien, says the state college of science, along with law enforcement and several other agencies are refusing to give them documents.
She wouldn’t tell WDAY exactly what those documents included other than saying they’re somehow related to Andrew Sadek’s death.
At a court hearing Monday morning, a judge ruled the attorneys should have access to those documents.
Because of this, attorneys do not feel like they have enough information to start the trial.
The Sadek’s family attorney, Tatum O’Brien stated, “We’re asking for things that we haven’t seen. So, we don’t really have any idea as to what we’re going to get. if we’re going to get thousands of pieces of paper or hours of recordings, we don’t know exactly the volume
O’Brien says this is a very challenging case thanks to these roadblocks.
She adds the Sadek family is doing okay right now, especially after ‘Andrew’s Law’ passed last year, the law in Andrew’s name giving confidential drug informants added protection in North Dakota.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The Trump administration has given North Dakota the power to regulate underground wells used for long-term storage of waste carbon dioxide captured from industrial sources such as coal-fired power plants.
The Environmental Protection Agency says North Dakota is the first state to be given such power. It has a large coal industry.
EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt says the move will increase North Dakota’s role in environmental protection. CO2 is a greenhouse gas said to contribute to global warming.
Sierra Club spokesman Wayde Schafer questions whether North Dakota will have enough funds to effectively manage the regulatory program.
The state’s rules for CO2 wells need to be as stringent as federal standards, and EPA will still oversee the state program. EPA also will continue to regulate wells on American Indian land.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Williston real estate agents sold more homes in the first quarter of this year than ever before — even outselling 2012 and 2014 boom levels.
Williston’s Development Services Director Mark Schneider tells The Bismarck Tribune that 110 homes changed hands over the three-month period.
The oil patch hub is in the midst of a single-family housing shortage that promises only to worsen as oil and gas activity picks up for the season.
North Dakota Job Service’s Williston office has 2,000 job openings advertised. Officials are still unsure how incoming workers might be housed through the summer. Schneider says apartments and hotels are at 90-95 percent occupancy already.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — Workers are demolishing and removing a Minot flour mill to make way for a flood protection project.
The North Dakota State Historic Preservation Office agreed to the demolition of the Minot Flour Mill building once the property was documented and information on the larger Minot Industrial Historic District was updated by a qualified architectural historian.
The history of the building goes back to the early 1900s. It was part of an important distribution point in Minot for various products, including food and lumber.
The Minot Daily News reports the structure is now being razed to make way for flood walls.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The first of two congressional hearings with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has begun. Zuckerberg is testifying in the Senate on Tuesday and the House on Wednesday.

Senators are expected to also ask him about Russian interference on his company’s platform in the 2016 election.
WASHINGTON (AP) — A senior Russian lawmaker says that a U.S. strike on Syria could trigger a direct military clash between Russia and the United States.

He said a retaliatory Russian strike could target U.S. navy ships and aircraft, but that use of nuclear weapons is “unlikely.”
HOUSTON (AP) — Some National Guard members have started arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border with more expected as federal government officials seek ways to curtail illegal immigration.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Prosecutors in the Bill Cosby retrial have called a sexual assault expert to help them blunt any skepticism about his accuser’s behavior after she says he drugged and molested her in 2004.

She told jurors Tuesday that it’s common for victims to be reluctant to go to police and normal for them to maintain contact with perpetrators.
