Jamestown, ND (Aug 15, 2013) — North Dakota Democratic-NPL legislators joined members of the Jamestown communities for an intimate round table discussion on Thursday at The Meeting Grounds in Jamestown.
Dem-NPL Assistant Senate Leader, Joan Heckaman (New Rockford) discussed the importance of K-12 education in North Dakota, saying “The fact that we even have to fight to raise the minimum teacher salary, fight to fund HeadStart and early childhood education programs, and fight to come up with real solutions to the childcare crisis when we’re sitting on $1.6 billion additional surplus dollars is a glimpse into just how out of touch the Republican leadership really is. Education and the children in our state should be a top priority.”
Representative Jessica Haak (Jamestown) discussed the need for the state to do more for roads and infrastructure needs in the state, saying “If you’ve driven around this state you’ve seen the crumbling roads, and you’ve heard about overcrowded schools. Republicans talk about unprecedented investments, but our Dem-NPL caucus knows we need to do more. We have to do more.”
Senator John Grabinger (Jamestown), a local business owner, commented on the need to focus on growing and supporting local businesses in North Dakota, saying, “Republicans brag about unprecedented tax cuts for businesses in North Dakota. What they won’t tell you is that over 80% of those tax cuts went to out of state corporations that probably won’t even notice the cut. But just imagine if that focus was instead shifted to supporting and helping grow locally owned and operated businesses right here in North Dakota? Those are the kinds of investments that keep our great state moving in the right direction.”
Representative Kylie Oversen (Grand Forks) discussed the importance of affordable higher education, saying “We have the opportunity to not only provide a top-tier college education to students in North Dakota, but also an affordable college education. Our Dem-NPL legislators worked to create a scholarship program utilizing our abundant Legacy Fund, and Republicans shot it down. That is unacceptable, and we are determined to do better for the future leaders of our state.”
Following the round table discussion, Dem-NPL legislators received a tour of Agri-Cover.
Heckaman says, “Local business is important to our communities and our state. As legislators, we need to do everything possible to support the growth and support of these local establishments.”
VALLEY CITY, N.D. (KCSi-T.V. News) – Thursday (Aug 15, 2013) on the campus of Valley City State University (VCSU), U.S. Senator Heidi Heitkamp brought together students and administrators from area colleges to focus on the increasing cost of higher education.
Heitkamp, a member of the Senate Banking Committee, recently helped provide long-term certainty to student loan rates and is now working to address the skyrocketing price of a college degree. VCSU President Dr. Steve Shirley, Mayville State University President Dr. Gary Hagen, and Jamestown College President Dr. Robert Badal participated in the discussion.
Heitkamp said, “We worked together last month in a bipartisan fashion to provide long-term certainty for students, but my efforts to improve our higher education system are far from over. The students, as well as Presidents Shirley, Badal, and Hagen offered important insight that I am going to use to shape legislation in the Senate. For our state to continue to be successful, we need to ensure higher education is affordable for North Dakotans.”
In July, Heitkamp helped pass the Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013, which the House then passed and the President signed into law. The legislation allows students the ability to take advantage of historically low interest rates, while locking in the rates for the life of the loan, and capping future rates.
In addition to her work to on keeping rates low, Heitkamp is also working on a plan to help Americans saddled with costly, private student loans refinance to more affordable options. In June, Heitkamp and fellow Banking Committee member Senator Sherrod Brown introduced a bill to help folks reduce their debt through refinancing, which would be no cost to taxpayers. Heitkamp understands that the issue of mounting student loan debt not only affects students and graduates, but that it is a drain on the entire economy.
Last year, outstanding student loan debt reached more than $1 trillion and 81 percent of the undergraduates with high student debt had private loans. This excessive student loan debt dampens home purchases, slows small business startups, diverts retirement savings, and limits opportunities for economic expansion in rural communities. Private loans typically have higher interest rates – that can top 18 percent – and are more difficult to refinance and offer fewer payment options than loans administered by the U.S. Department of Education.
MAPLETON, N.D. (AP) – The parents of four children who live in the southeastern North Dakota town of Mapleton face felony child abuse charges after authorities say they discovered the children living in a wet mobile home covered in dirt and mold.
Nathan Roper, of Mapleton, faces three counts, and Misty Byrd, of Dickinson, faces four counts. Each of the counts carries a maximum punishment upon conviction of five years in prison.
A home telephone listing could not be found for either Roper or Byrd, and neither has an attorney listed in court documents. An arrest warrant has been issued for Byrd.
Investigators say the children lived in Roper’s home, which they described as filthy, wet and fly-infested.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) – More than 100 emergency responders have been practicing in Fargo and Moorhead, Minn., for a possible disaster.
The North Dakota National Guard’s 81st Civil Support Team based in Bismarck is leading the weeklong exercise, which focuses on a mock World Energy Forum meeting taking place in the metro area.
The scenario is based on the premise that several radiation devices have been stolen. It includes sweep of the Fargodome and Moorhead High School, along with simulated responses at a local hospital.
National Guard members from Minnesota, Wyoming and Oregon are participating in the drill, along with numerous federal, state, local and private industry representatives.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota oil drillers continue to produce oil and natural gas at a record pace.

North Dakota’s oil patch had a record 9,071 producing wells in June, up from 8,932 wells in May.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s Land Board has awarded $6.8 million in grants to school districts in western North Dakota’s oil-producing region.
Officials say the grants are part of a program aimed at helping communities deal with the effects of rapid energy development.
The money awarded to the school districts is the first round of $25 million that is slated to be awarded to school districts over the next two years.
The Land Board will award a total of $240 million in impact grants through 2015 to counties experiencing rapid growth from the state’s oil boom.
The Land Board is headed by Gov. Jack Dalrymple.
MINOT, N.D. (AP) – An alliance working to protect the environment and history of the Killdeer Mountains in western North Dakota’s oil patch wants state regulators to reconsider how oil is being tapped there.
The Killdeer Mountain Alliance has asked members of the Industrial Commission to include the Killdeer Mountains on planned tours of culturally important sites.
Oil drilling in the Killdeer Mountains has sparked protests from ranchers and American Indians concerned about sacred or historic sites.
The alliance wants the Industrial Commission to delay any further oil drilling on public land on the west side of the mountains until considering its alternative drilling plan.
Governor spokesman Jeff Zent says commission members are open to looking at possible new approaches to drilling.
