Letter: Legislative leadership, vision sorely lacking in ND session
The 2013 legislative session is now over, with the traditional closing words “sine die.” With this Legislature, that could easily be interpreted as “good riddance.”By Robert Snyder, Bismarck , May 20, 2013
Letter: Legislators must focus on state first
In response to “A Good Session, Maybe; ‘Greatest Session,’ No” (column, May 15):By Michelle Bruer, Fargo , May 20, 2013
Letter: High-profit food giants target sugar producers
Since the great recession, investors have been inundated with tips for turning losses into profit, ranging from gold to social media IPOs. But through it all, a pretty obvious profit center garnered very few headlines, and now this “secret” soon could have public policy implications.By Jack Roney , May 19, 2013
Letter: Great response to potential flood
The residents of Elm Circle in north Fargo would like to express their appreciation to the city for its response to the potential flood of 2013.By Steffen Christensen, Fargo , May 19, 2013

Letter: Is Fargodome adequate for future?
I asked recently whether Fargo needs a new stadium for North Dakota State University Bison football. Or, in the alternative, whether a new multipurpose events center to replace the Fargodome needs to be built. Either would potentially give NDSU the flexibility to perhaps one day pursue a move to the premiere NCAA Division I football level of competition.By Clarence F. “Rick” Olson, Fargo , May 18, 2013
Letter: Careless, reckless legislative assembly
Now that the North Dakota Legislature has closed a record-setting 80-day assembly, I’d like to review the apparent lack of concern shown by the super-majority Republicans for a number of public health issues.By Eric L. Johnson , May 18, 2013
Letter: Good results from 80 days of legislative sausage-making
As the dust settles following the 2013 legislative session, voters from both sides of the aisle should be proud of the work that their elected Republican majorities have done on their behalf.By Stan Stein, Wahpeton, N.D. , May 18, 2013
Letter: NTSB proposal in unworkable
The National Transportation Safety Board is proposing reducing the legal driving limit from .08 to .05. Here we go again with government’s one-size-fits-all solution: punish everyone equally regardless of severity of the crime.By Bruce Hingst, Fargo , May 18, 2013
Letter: Conservation vital element of farm bill
As agriculture committees in the House and Senate turn attention to considering and reporting out a five-year farm bill this month, it’s important to consider how many Americans have felt the negative impact of not having a comprehensive bill.By Dale Hall , May 18, 2013
Letter: Ayers vs. Rove? I’ll choose Ayers
I agree with The Forum’s April 26 editorial – and the accompanying cartoon – about William Ayers’ invitation to speak at Minnesota State University Moorhead.By Dudley C. Wells, Twin Valley, Minn. , May 18, 2013
Letter: Media ignore Benghazi story
Benghazi? Anyone? Not a story? Nothing to see here? Nothing to report? Not important that our president and secretary of state lied to cover their narrative that their administration had subdued terrorism around the world?By Judy Gorman, Moorhead , May 18, 2013
Letter: Help the Nokota horses right away
A group of Nokota horse lovers and conservancy supporters in southeast Pennsylvania has been trying to help support the efforts of the Nokota Horse Conservancy since before they were an official 501(c)(3) organization. We believe strongly in the importance of preserving this rare and historic breed.By Susan Pizzini, West Grove, Pa. , May 18, 2013
Letter: Consider sound in the ‘cathedral’
I hope the designers of the new Vikings “crystal cathedral” realize one of the major problems the actual Crystal Cathedral had – and still has – is with the acoustics. It’s extraordinarily loud!By Phil White, Minnetonka, Minn. , May 18, 2013
