RALPH KINGSBURY: Grand Fork’s motel-tax collections go up, up, up
Today, I fear this sense of community has disappeared from much of America. But one of the few places where it has continued is in rural areas, and that means North Dakota. Now, I fear the North Dakota Legislature is about to take on giant step toward destroying that community. It will save taxpayers a few pennies, maybe the cost of a Big Mac a year or so.

RYAN BAKKEN: A beaded lockout solution
The American Crystal Sugar lockout is all about the sugar program, which is government protectionism that guarantees high prices for domestic sugar. In the current political climate, the sugar program is destined for the gallows. So, ACS growers and executives figure, costs need to be trimmed. Thus, there’s the contract stalemate.

Shar Knutson, St. Paul, letter: Lockout puts sugar program in jeopardy
Anyone involved with growing sugar beets, producing sugar or bringing the product to market knows the importance of the federal government’s sugar program. The program puts a limit on how much sugar is imported to the U.S. It has created a fair market for Red River Valley sugar beet growers to earn a living, and it created good-paying jobs in the production facilities for many decades.
