Fargo leaders expected to OK resignation of former police officer
FARGO — City commissioners are expected to vote to approve a settlement proposal that would let a former police officer resign rather than be fired.
That's according to Leo Wilking, an attorney for Justin Natchatilo, a Fargo police officer who was told by Police Chief David Zibolski in December that he was being terminated.
The Fargo Civil Service Commission upheld the termination in February. Natchatilo then appealed to the City Commission, which deadlocked last week on the question of whether to uphold the Civil Service Commission decision to uphold Natchatilo's firing, or allow Natchatilo to resign as a way of resolving the issue.

North Dakota's lone abortion clinic to move to Minnesota after Supreme Court ruling
FARGO — North Dakota’s only abortion clinic will move from Fargo to Moorhead after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday, June 24, returning the abortion issue to state legislatures.
When the move of the Red River Women’s Clinic occurs, it will mark the first time in more than 40 years that North Dakota will be without a facility providing abortions.
Clinic Director Tammi Kromenaker said while she knew the ruling was coming because of the draft opinion leaked in May, it's still "devastating." Full story here.
