We have good open records law.

Last month, Republican Gov. Kelly Armstrong temporarily banned all kratom products for 30 days and called the special session for the Legislature to enact kratom regulations, prohibitions and criminal penalties.

The intense demand for this water supply program demonstrates just how serious the drought situation is in North Dakota for our livestock producers.

The science has gotten better, the technology has gotten better.

This July ranked as one of the hottest and driest on record in North Dakota, putting enormous strain on livestock producers who are just trying to keep their herds watered and fed and their operations afloat.

We’re honored to receive this national Recovery Friendly Workplace certification and thankful for everyone in our administration and those who came before us who have worked to reduce the stigma of addiction and help individuals find hope…

Creating a supportive workplace for people in recovery is more than just good policy for filling open jobs in state government – it’s also the right thing to do.

I have rescinded the ban on TikTok because it is now majority-owned by an American-led consortium.

The best part about this program is it helps now, but the reason we’ll spend less money on this program than we did in 2021 is because we drilled those wells in 2021,” he said. “It’s immediate relief now, but it also helps future…

“Basically, from Bismarck to the South Dakota and Montana border is as bad as we’ve seen in a very long time,” Armstrong said.

“I’m worried,” Armstrong said in an interview Tuesday.

From Capitol Hill to the State Capitol, Conner has navigated complex policy issues with skill and a depth of understanding that will serve North Dakotans well.

I am rescinding the TikTok ban for state-owned devices because the app is now under American control.

We encourage citizens to keep updated on fire conditions and take precautions to prevent wildfires as we face these challenging conditions together.

State government is committed to deploying all resources at our disposal to protect life and property in cooperation with our local, tribal and federal partners.

In just a few months we’ve seen ground conditions shift from lush green to tinder dry across large portions of our state, and we need to be prepared for a potentially intense wildfire season this fall.

Right now, it’s the Wild West when it comes to kratom and 7-OH sales in North Dakota: no regulations, no age limits, no accountability.

North Dakotans are overdosing and dying from a product you can buy off the shelf in a convenience store without any regulations or age requirement.

I think the least tenable solution is an empty hole in the Capitol grounds.

I’m not particularly interested in making an 18-year-old kid who’s addicted to a product that was legal a month ago a felon for the rest of his life without any options for moving up and down.

This is, quite frankly, too important to wait that long.

Doing nothing is not an option.

I’m comfortable with that, but at the end of the day, we need to make sure we are managing billions of dollars of assets for the North Dakota citizens, and we can’t do that without the human resources to do it well.

Kevin and Dr. Deere both bring considerable leadership experience and valuable perspectives on higher education and how it can help meet our state’s workforce demands, including in two of our largest industries, energy and healthcare.
