Bismarck (CSi) – Gov. Doug Burgum released the following statement after the North Dakota Supreme Court Monday heard arguments in a lawsuit brought by the state Legislature challenging the governor’s veto authority related to vetoes issued at the end of the 2017 legislative session.
“We appreciate the opportunity to present our case to the Supreme Court and look forward to a ruling that resolves this lawsuit initiated by a small group of legislators at significant cost to taxpayers. We stand behind the original intent of these vetoes, which was to preserve the separation of powers and protect executive branch authority. What began as an unnecessary lawsuit has evolved into an opportunity for the court to answer an important constitutional question. A key underpinning of democracy is our system of checks and balances, and we’re defending the governor’s veto authority as an essential check on spending to ensure taxpayer dollars are used as efficiently and effectively as possible.”
The Supreme Court took the case under advisement and will issue its opinion at a later date.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — The state is suing a former Fargo home remodeling contractor for failing to complete projects for which customers had paid.
Studs to Rugs owner Tim Rosene suddenly closed the business last fall. KFGO says a lawsuit filed in district court in Fargo accuses Rosene of 43 violations of consumer protection laws.
Ten customers have filed complaints claiming losses of about $324,000 for projects that were never completed. Asst. Attorney General Parrell Grossman says he doesn’t know whether those seeking restitution will see any money.
A phone listing for Rosene was not available.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A Minot Air Force Base woman has been sentenced to serve 25 years in prison for videotaping herself sexually exploiting an infant and then selling the videos.
The U.S. attorney’s office says the videos created and sold by 29-year-old Ashley Moore were found on a cellphone belonging to an Alabama man who had died. Family members of the man alerted police.
Moore was convicted of sexual exploitation of a child and a pornography-related charge. She’ll be on supervised release for 10 years following her prison time.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Lawmakers say a proposed policy establishing procedures for handling sexual harassment complaints in North Dakota’s Capitol is a good start but needs more work.
Lawmakers, legislative employees, lobbyists and reporters could bring complaints to designated officials including legislative majority leaders and Legislative Council leaders, who would then look into the matter or hire an independent investigator. All of them also would designate a person of the opposite sex who could take complaints.
Members of the Legislative Procedure and Arrangements Committee say they want more clarification on potential punishments for lawmakers, and more thought given to how a complaint would be resolved. Some also question whether the list of people who handle complaints should be expanded, possibly to include minority leaders and neutral third parties.
The committee will continue work on the proposal in June.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The PGA Tour, which is staging the Dell Match Play Championship in west Austin this week, says its security advisers are collaborating closely with law enforcement to try to ensure the safety of players and fans.
The PGA said Monday that it doesn’t comment on the specifics of its security measures, but that the safety of players and fans is its top priority.
Austin has been the site of four bombings this month, including one Sunday night that was triggered by a tripwire and seriously injured two men. The first three attacks used package bombs left on people’s doorsteps. They killed two people and injured two others.
Authorities believe the attacks are the work of a serial bomber.
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Uber says it has suspended all of its self-driving testing following what is believed to be the first fatal pedestrian crash involving the vehicles.
The self-driving testing has been taking place in Phoenix, Pittsburgh, San Francisco and Toronto.
Automakers and tech companies are competing to be first with the technology.
Police in the Phoenix suburb of Tempe say one of Uber’s self-driving vehicles struck and killed a pedestrian on Sunday night.
Investigators say the vehicle was in autonomous mode with an operator behind the wheel when the woman walking outside of a crosswalk was hit.
The woman died of her injuries at a hospital.
Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi expressed condolences on his Twitter account the company is working with local law enforcement on the investigation.
NEW YORK (AP) — Experts are saying that Cambridge Analytica, the political firm under fire for inappropriately obtaining data from Facebook, isn’t alone in its data-mining capability.
Robert Ricci, a marketing director at Blue Fountain Media, says what makes this case more insidious is its connection with possible elections meddling, something Facebook has been under scrutiny for.
Ricci says marketers are already using similar profiling techniques to sell products and services. What’s different here is the use of data to try to influence who you are voting for — or whether you are voting at all.
Cambridge Analytica, whose clients have included Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, reportedly used the data of 50 million Facebook customers without permission to build psychological profiles so voters could be targeted with ads and stories.
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House says President Donald Trump isn’t thinking or talking about firing special counsel Robert Mueller.
That’s the word from White House lawyer Ty Cobb in a statement late Sunday after a series of Trump tweets revived chatter that the frustrated president may be preparing to have Mueller fired.
Mueller is investigating whether Trump’s actions, including last year’s ouster of FBI Director James Comey, amount to obstruction of justice.
Trump believes the probe is biased against him, a point he made clear in weekend tweets that jabbed Mueller directly.
Cobb says: “In response to media speculation and related questions being posed to the Administration, the White House yet again confirms that the President is not considering or discussing the firing of the Special Counsel, Robert Mueller.”
DETROIT (AP) — Schools around the U.S. are looking for ways to impose tougher security measures in the wake of last month’s school shooting in Florida that left 17 people dead.
And they don’t have to look further than urban districts such as Detroit, Chicago, Los Angeles and New York that installed metal detectors and other security in the 1980s and 1990s to combat gang and drug violence.
Security experts believe these measures have made urban districts less prone to mass shootings, which have mostly occurred in suburban and rural districts.
National African American Gun Association president Philip Smith says security measures at urban schools are “eons ahead” of those in the suburbs because “they’ve been dealing with violence a lot longer.”
NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City official is launching an investigation into falsified documents filed by the Kushner Cos. with the city, saying that they should have been discovered earlier because the documents were hidden in plain sight.
Councilman Ritchie Torres says that the Department of Buildings should have spotted the falsified numbers because paperwork at the city taxation agency contradicted those them. The Associated Press reported Sunday that a tenant rights watchdog group found that the Kushner Cos. had filed more than 80 documents stating that it had no rent-regulated units in its buildings. It had hundreds.
The falsified documents allowed the Kushner Cos. to escape extra scrutiny during construction projects that the watchdog group said led to harassment of rent regulated tenants.
