BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) \u2014 North Dakota’s House has endorsed a plan aimed at rebuilding infrastructure projects outside of the state’s oil patch.<\/p>\n
Representatives voted 80-12 on Wednesday for the bill aimed at providing $280 million in every two-year budget cycle for counties, cities and airports in non-oil producing areas.<\/p>\n
The proposal by the Legislature’s Republican majority leaders has been called “Operation Prairie Dog.” It follows some grumbling by non-oil producing lawmakers that the western part of the state was getting too large a share of the money from oil produced there. They wanted a bigger share of oil tax revenues for their projects back home.<\/p>\n
The legislation assumes that the oil production and prices will hold at the current levels.<\/p>\n
The measure now heads to the Senate for consideration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
