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

Forum editorial: The stink? West Fargo lagoons
West Fargo stinks. OK, not the entire city. It’s the sewage treatment lagoons.

And in all probability, it’s unnecessary.May 18, 2013

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

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
