Anthony Androsky, Charleston, S.C., letter: Nickname stance poorly serves alumni group

I am not trying to persuade anyone about anything regarding the nickname. I’m saying that the association must be neutral, support all alumni and not be pressured by outside political influences.

Lee Murdock, Grand Forks, letter: Check partisanship at ‘Civility’ conference door

I challenge my fellow letter-writers, who often submit letters filled with incendiary partisan talking points, to doff our partisan hats and attend as many of the civility sessions as possible.

State Sen. Curtis Olafson, Edinburg, N.D., letter: Very few legislators support Measure 2

I think it is very telling that, to the best of my knowledge, there is only one member of the Legislature out of 141 who publicly supports Measure 2. Legislators certainly don’t know everything, but their lack of support speaks volumes about this far-reaching proposal.

C.T. Marhula, Grand Forks, letter: Nickname measure indicts leadership

While I am neutral/undecided on Measure 4, the fact that the issue even is on the ballot is a symptom of the real problem: failed leadership, even from the usually competent and rational Wayne Stenehjem.

Sally Morris, East Grand Forks, letter: Renters will benefit from Measure 2

Herald readers who rent should know that it’s in their best interest to vote yes on Measure 2.

Christopher Dodson, Bismarck, letter: Measure 3 simply restores pre-1990 standard

Minnesota uses the same standard as Measure 3. It has not clogged the courts or led to abuses in Minnesota, and there is no reason to conclude it would do so here.

LLOYD OMDAHL: Schafer, Omdahl join to oppose Measure 2

LLOYD OMDAHL: Schafer, Omdahl join to oppose Measure 2 Because proponents of the property tax repeal have taken comments by former Gov. Ed Schafer and me out of context, we have issued a joint statement making it clear we are opposed to Measure 2.

Glenn Rost, Park River, N.D., letter: Specials represent another reason to vote ‘no’ on Measure 2

John Reese, Grand Forks, letter: Passing Measure 2 puts money in people’s pockets

So many people are clamoring to refinance or somehow reduce their monthly mortgage payment. But even after all that effort, they find their monthly mortgage payment reduced by only $150 to $200. In contrast, by simply going to the voting booth, homeowners have the chance increase their annual expendable income by $3,600 to $6000.

Karen Thunshelle, Fargo, column: N.D. needs much tougher animal cruelty laws

In 48 states, anyone who beats a dog to death could face felony charges. But not in North Dakota or South Dakota. Here, you can torture a family pet by the most sadistic of means and face only a misdemeanor offense.

Joe Miller, Park River, N.D., column: Property taxes need reform, not removal

One could argue that the complexity of this system is a reason to remove it and replace it with a leaner system. I’d argue that simply removing it would create a new and greater level of complexity. For evidence of this, see the federal tax code.

MATTERS AT HAND: Laws of politics work in U.S. Senate campaign

MATTERS AT HAND: Laws of politics work in U.S. Senate campaign Politics in North Dakota operate according to a few immutable laws. These are unwritten, of course, but they can be seen in political campaigns, behavior in office and election abstracts. There are only a few of them, hardly a handful in fact. In this campaign, each of the candidates for the U.S. Senate has broken some of the laws, and this contributes to the close contest that was highlighted in a Forum Company poll printed last week.
