LLOYD OMDAHL: Homeland committee looks for budget cuts
“The census figures are out,” Little Jimmy explained as he rose to his feet. “We lost three residents since 2000, and that means we will be getting $300 less in state aid every year for the next 10 years.” “Who left town?” Orville Jordan asked, as he scratched his head to stir his thinking cells.

OUR OPINION: Who will forge the Great Compromise that America needs?
“An atmosphere of give-and-take.” Who in Washington and regions such as the upper Midwest is fostering that atmosphere? Put another way: Who is willing to compromise in ways that anger a core constituency?

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Is it the ‘will of the people’ or vengeance?
The claim that legislators are doing only what the “folks back home” want has been made for a number of measures in the present legislative session. In fact, such claims in this session have been more exaggerated than in previous sessions.

State Sen. Ray Holmberg, R-Grand Forks, letter: Where every idea gets its day
Herald readers need to remember that North Dakota has a long and proud tradition of citizen input into the legislative process. As a citizen Legislature, we always have believed that any idea — whether profound or ridiculous — gets its day in court, and what is profound to one legislator or citizen may be absolute nonsense to another.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Legislature grabbing for power — again
The present session is only a couple of weeks old, and bills already have been introduced to take charge of the UND Fighting Sioux logo controversy. Under the state constitution, this issue is none of the Legislature’s business.

LLOYD OMDAHL: UND medical school falls short of mission
The only reason North Dakota started a medical school was to “enhance the quality of life” by producing doctors who would practice in North Dakota. Unfortunately, most of the graduating students are not staying here.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Red tape: the taxpayer's friend
To defend the integrity of their programs, local, state and federal governments issue rules and regulations, together with complicated forms to guarantee eligibility and thereby keep the chiselers at bay. We call this system of accountability “red tape.”

VIEWPOINT: Red tape: The taxpayer’s friend
The Obama administration was hoping to pay for the new health care program by clamping down on abuses in the Medicare program. Billions of dollars are being stolen annually because the system provides too many opportunities for individuals, clinics and hospitals to rip off the system.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Advice for N.D.’s new lieutenant governor
The lieutenant governorship is a great job. Its immediate purpose should be to relieve the overworked governor, not serve as a launching pad for a political career. That comes later.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Time change divides homeland group
"This business of the government moving time around is not Biblical,” Holger Danske said. "When the Lord said noon will be at 12 o’clock, he didn’t mean 1 o’clock or 11 o’clock. Nowhere in the Bible do we get authority to move the time. People who can’t accept what God organized should just go someplace else.”
