COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Democracy loses when newspapers decline
The decline of newspapers will result in the dumbing down of the citizenry at a time when public issues are more complex than ever before. Print journalists are objective professionals who strive to provide the public with a stream of reliable information, a significant contrast to television, radio and the Internet.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: N.D., other states march to own drummers
The manner in which states plan to implement the stimulus package explains why so many federal regulations come with federal funding. When there are few rules, all kinds of strange things happen as states keep marching to their own drummers.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: N.D. loves those earmarks
Before North Dakota joins the anti-earmark hysteria sweeping Washington, we need to consider the great advantage the state has been enjoying under this budget-inflating practice. All three members of our congressional delegation occupy such strategic positions that North Dakota has more clout per congressmember than any other state in the union.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Life is hard, then you die
My daughter, Becky, startled me with a bit of uncharacteristic fatalism when she summed up the human condition with the expression “life is hard, then you die” ... At first, I thought the summation was a little on the dark side. Upon reflection, however, my opinion is changing as I see the hard situations confronting some folks in these troublesome times.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Census distorts Electoral College
The “whole number of persons” includes illegal immigrants and noncitizens. Consequently, states with large noncitizen populations are getting congressional seats — and votes in the Electoral College — to which they are not entitled. This is no small matter.

Erich Longie, Fort Totten, N.D., letter: Referendum threatens tribal sovereignty
By far the most important issue at stake here is the tribe’s sovereignty. What precedent will a referendum on this issue set? Who will be the next group to come in and try to persuade tribal members to put something on the ballot?

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Finding courage in the N.D. Legislature
If a new “Profiles in Courage” were going to be written featuring courageous folks in the North Dakota Legislature, the first few chapters would have to acknowledge the bravery of Rep. Ed Gruchalla, D-Fargo; Rep. Joyce Kingsbury, R-Grafton; Sen. Art Behm, D-Niagara; and Rep. Lawrence Klemin, R-Bismarck.

Charlene Nelson, Casselton, N.D., column: N.D., stop paying Minnesotans' tuition
The Taxpayer's Asociation is correct: North Dakota taxpayers are subsidizing nonresidents’ tuition to the tune of $250 million a year. This legislative session, the state university system is asking for even more, so the price tag for subsidizing nonresidents is sure to be higher.

Tom Potter, Grand Forks, letter: N.D. needs stimulus to build transmission lines
What a shame it would be if a stubborn pride in our own self-sufficiency makes us reject this chance to become a major energy source, with all the wealth, population growth and steady work that goes along with exporting energy.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Homeland committee shelves stimulus
“OK,” Ork agreed as he looked over some government papers. “Now they want to know how many jobs our project will create.” “Jobs!? Jobs!?” Josh exclaimed in disbelief, half rising out of his frosted chair. “Who wants jobs?” he asked, as he surveyed the shivering citizenry. “We’ve got Social Security. That’s economic stimulus every month.”

LLOYD OMDAHL: Out-of-state students help N.D. colleges
In a recent flurry of letters to the editor, the North Dakota Taxpayers Association claimed that state taxpayers were “subsidizing” out-of-state college students. Instead of subsidizing out-of-state students, it suggested that reducing the number of out-of-state students would result in cheaper tuition for in-state students. Apparently, the association did not bother to analyze the recent report prepared by Dr. F. Larry Leistritz of North Dakota State University on the economic impact of the institutions of higher learning on the state and particularly on the 11 college cities.

COLUMNIST LLOYD OMDAHL: Don't give stimulus money to N.D.
North Dakotans think any spending that doesn’t bring bacon to North Dakota is outright waste. The truth is, we are already getting more than our share. For every dollar we send to Washington, we get $1.60 back. That’s the whole pig.

IN THE MAIL: USA Today owes North Dakota apology
Former Lt. Gov. Lloyd Omdahl is a good and decent man who I believe works hard to be accurate in his column. While we in the U.S. attorney’s office share his irritation with the recent USA Today story on public corruption, it is important that Omdahl and his readers recognize that my office played no role in compiling, analyzing, providing or explaining the “data” that USA Today relied on for its story.

1950s ND attorney general was last convicted 'corrupt' state official
Young Cavalier attorney said he was framed
The last North Dakota state official convicted of public corruption was Attorney General Elmo T. Christianson in 1954. It ended the political career of the young Cavalier, N.D., attorney and helped push the Nonpartisan League into marriage with the state Democratic Party, a union that lives on today in the party’s moniker.
