OUR OPINION: A No. 1 ranking to (almost) ignore
When a national organization ranks North Dakota No. 1, that’s usually reason for North Dakotans to celebrate.

COLUMNIST DORREEN YELLOW BIRD: Western N.D.'s highways desperately need work
The state and BIA roads are not equipped to take on the kind of traffic they are experiencing. I am not exaggerating when I say you can almost put a car in some of the holes on Highway 22. The highway people cover the holes with gravel, but that’s only just a little better than the hole itself.
