\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Deutscher family urged an end to drinking and driving Monday and

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – Republican North Dakota Gov. Jack Dalrymple
\nis proposing $545 million in tax cuts and says the state should
\nplay a greater role in funding education.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The plan that would be considered in the 2013 Legislature if
\nDalrymple wins election includes cuts in property taxes, as well as
\nindividual and corporate income taxes.<\/p>\n
It expands the homestead tax credit for disabled and senior citizens.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Dalrymple wants a 50 percent reduction in the average school
\ndistrict tax levy.<\/p>\n
He says that would save the owner of a $180,000 home nearly $1,100 in property taxes.
\n\u00a0Democratic state Sen. Ryan Taylor, who’s running against Dalrymple, says the governor is “reacting to issues long after hearing the public outcry.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Taylor says he released his plan more than two months ago.<\/p>\n

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – Favorable weather is helping the North
\nDakota harvest progress, but pastures continue to remain stressed.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The U.S. Department of Agriculture says in its weekly crop,
\nlivestock and weather report that barley made it to 83 percent
\nharvested, Durum wheat reached 36 percent harvested, spring wheat
\nrose to 74 percent harvested and the oats crop is 79 percent
\nharvested.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Canola is 73 percent swathed, compared with 10 percent last year

\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Last week, a Japanese beetle found in Grand Forks was positively
\nidentified by the NDSU Extension Plant Pest Diagnostic Laboratory.
\nMore specimens were later found in traps in West Fargo.

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – A popular walking bridge that spans
\nInterstate 94 in the heart of North Dakota’s largest city is
\ngetting a facelift.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The state Department of Transportation says it plans to fix up
\nthe decaying structure in Fargo next summer, at a cost of $600,000.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Fargo resident Jen Hoy says\u00a0 people know the crossing as the “blue bridge” and calls it a staple of the city.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hoy has started a Facebook page to promote the project.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DOT spokesman Kevin Gorder says the bridge gets a lot of foot
\ntraffic and needs work to keep it functioning.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The project will take a couple of months to complete and will

\u00a0MINOT, N.D. (AP) – A financial research company says North
\nDakota has 13 of the nation’s safest banks.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 StreetAuthority LLC says it evaluated more than 7,300 banks
\nnationwide.<\/p>\n
\u00a0It used a tool that considers a bank’s reserves against
\nloan losses, and the number of loans it has that aren’t being
\nrepaid.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The company says the tool has been used successfully to predict
\nbank failures.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Farmers State Bank of Crosby is one of the North Dakota
\nbanks on the list of the nation’s safest banks.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 President Paul Hanisch says\u00a0 the bank has few loan defaults. He chalks that
\nup to North Dakota values. He says: “It’s nice to have customers
\nthat are honest, and we appreciate that.”
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 StreetAuthority identified 359 banks nationwide as the nation’s

\u00a0FARGO, N.D. (AP) – The possible loss of a federal tax break for
\nthe wind industry has some North Dakota officials nervous about the
\nfuture of 800 jobs.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 DMI Industries in West Fargo employs 216 people making wind
\ntowers. In Grand Forks, 630 people work at LM Wind Power, which
\nsupplies components for wind turbines.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The federal wind production tax credit is equal to 2.2 cents per
\nkilowatt hour of electricity. Wind power becomes more expensive
\nwithout the credit.
\nWind energy development in western North Dakota has slowed in recent months.
\nThe state has almost 1,500 megawatts of wind energy generation
\ncapacity, and more than 5,000 additional megawatts have been
\nproposed.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 A North Dakota Public Service Commission engineer says electric
\ndemand is down because of the sluggish national economy.<\/p>\n

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – North Dakota’s early Canada goose hunting
\nseason opens Wednesday.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The early season is aimed at reducing local numbers of Canada
\ngeese.<\/p>\n
The state Game and Fish Department says the statewide
\npopulation of the geese remains high despite liberalized
\nregulations the past several years including larger bag limits and
\nexpanded shooting hours.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Limits for this year’s early season are 15 birds daily and 30 in
\npossession. Shooting hours are half an hour before sunrise until
\nsunset.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The season ends in the Missouri River zone on Sept. 7. It closes
\nin the rest of the state on Sept. 15.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u00a0BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) – The North Dakota Game and Fish Department
\nis asking salmon anglers to turn over fish heads to the agency so
\nthat tracking information can be retrieved from microscopic tags
\nembedded in the fish’s snouts.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The agency says anglers can tell whether a fish has a coded tag
\nby looking on its back.<\/p>\n
If it’s missing the small adipose fin in front of the tail, the fish has a tag.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The agency says some young salmon were tagged before being
\nstocked in Lake Sakakawea and the Missouri River.
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Salmon can’t reproduce naturally in Lake Sakakawea, so eggs are
\nbrought to the Garrison Dam National Fish Hatchery and fish are
\nraised there for stocking.<\/p>\n
