Plain Talk: House Minority Leader Josh Boschee Makes the Case for a Special Session
Does North Dakota need a special session?
House Minority Leader Josh Boschee, a Democratic lawmaker from Fargo, thinks so. He is one of a group of Democratic lawmakers who are requesting a special session to address the impacts of the coronavirus.
One major issue Boschee would like handed is some $1.25 billion in federal funding North Dakota is receiving to help address the COVID-19 situation. As it stands now, the executive branch will decide how that money is spent, specifically, and the Legislature’s Budget Section Committee will say “yea” or “nay” to the decision.
