Lots of links, but I’m sorry I don’t have time to translate them all before I get ready for work. My blog uses a different format than this one and I don’t have time to change ‘em. Anyway, the original article and links can be found on BismarckMandanBlog.com by clicking here.

ND Dem-NPL doesn’t want what’s best for North Dakotans

Clint F — 2009-10-10T07:31:27+00:00

“At the end of the day I think that the Senators are going to do what they feel is best for North Dakota and sometimes that doesn`t jive with what folks in the party want, but you know how it works,” says Joe Aronson, of the Democratic NPL of North Dakota.

Interesting that they’d actually admit it for once.

I wonder if this is the kind of thing we can expect from the ND Heritate Area folks?

Wrongdoing, illegal lobbying, and inappropriate relationships with advocacy groups. Yep, sounds like just the kind of thing we can expect from Potter’s latest pet project. The government is investigating such conduct from BLM employees and advocacy groups. Link

Heck, the NDHA folks have already committed the illegal lobbying part!

It was only a matter of time, of course. Measured in mere hours.

AP posts misleading report about Heritage Area

Clint F — 2009-07-13T10:26:37+00:00

In the article “Land designation raises ire of ND property owners” (which is just a repost of an AP article), Tracy Potter is given cover by the media, including KXMB as they dutifully repeat this slanted take on the issue:

“Critics of the idea say it could open up more federal regulation of their land. But Potter says the legislation is written to prevent that from happening.”

According to this post from Rob quoting a Tribune article, Potter and Dorgan are claiming an opt-out possibility now exists. The law needs to be checked to verify that, of course, but it looks like they were forced to put back in a provision that’s typically left in Heritage Area designations. From what I’ve read, that provision was conspicuously removed from the North Dakota bill.

We couldn’t get the mainstream media to touch this story with a ten foot pole, but now that there’s an excuse for Potter and Dorgan, it looks like they’re willing to report it as a means of giving them cover on an issue that has a lot of people very angry with the two prominent liberal Democrats.
