LLOYD OMDAHL: After 30 years, U.S. remains ‘A Nation At Risk’
Awash in prosperity, there is no excuse for us to be running this kind of a school system. And North Dakota is not alone. Many schools across the country got failing scores. The problem is nationwide.

Dennis Stillings, Valley City, N.D., column: Omdahl distorts, misrepresents Measure 2
It has been said that abolishing the property tax is like blowing up a tractor with a hand grenade if a couple of things go wrong with it. One should just fix the tractor. The property tax has been “fixed” some 135 times since 1981. It’s time to use the hand grenade.

LLOYD OMDAHL: You are being heard! You are being heard!
While each group consists of divergent motives and opinions, the tea party and Occupy Wall Street have one common thread — the demand to be heard. History tells us that this is not a new complaint.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Health crisis requires new restaurant chain
Instead of the 10 percent discount now available only for seniors, every patron should be eligible for a 20 percent markdown. That will bring in the business, especially from seniors who will travel miles and eat at strange hours just to get that petty 10 percent break. They won’t be able to resist 20 percent.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Sales-tax act about fairness, not money
It looks as if factors finally are coming together to make it unnecessary to tolerate this unfair competition, in which local retailers must collect sales taxes but online merchants don't. The applicable cliche is 'leveling the playing field.'

LLOYD OMDAHL: Crystal ball shows cloudy outlines of 2012
To start out, we can assume that the Republican candidate for president, regardless of name or gender, will carry North Dakota in 2012. He has in every election since 1964 — and that’s a 50-year track record. So you can safely put your money on that prospect.

LLOYD OMDAHL: New health rules — 'Stop aging and eating'

LLOYD OMDAHL: Ignore phony rhetoric about job creation
“Overpromise” has become an epidemic on the issue of job creation. The public is expecting the government to solve the unemployment problem when there is very little the government can do. Economic decisions in this country are dominated by private enterprise, so the issue is going to be resolved by the business community, not government.
