Letter: Data centers are about corporate power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
North Dakota history provides some examples for dealing with AI data centers that are springing up like leafy spurge in a pasture. Why? Because our present situation is rhyming with history, and the common themes are corporate power and greed. The Dutch East India Company and the Hudson’s Bay Company are probably the two corporations most associated with colonial North America. Those corporations operated under royal charters — and were limited in power. No one needs to be a historian to underst
Lettter: HUD has already approved our funding. Why is North Dakota still waiting? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every day, someone in North Dakota calls High Plains Fair Housing Center because they are about to lose their housing.

His speech didn't threaten or divide, but reminded two nations of their shared history, values and responsibility for the future — a powerful reminder that words can unite and persuade. As I listened, I found myself thinking about a book I once considered writing after retiring: "Lessons from the Playground." After 36 years as a teacher and elementary principal
Letter: Questioning the use of PILOTs and tax incentives in Grand Forks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Grand Forks has been relatively generous in approving tax incentives to support growth in the business and housing sectors in comparison to comparable North Dakota cities. This may be an admirable quality for a city experiencing growth. But is it? Like other items on the City Council agenda, unless a PILOT is banging on your door at 3 in the morning, most people ignore it, finding it abhorrent to speak in public. Maybe what we need is a current-day Paul Revere running through our neighborhoods y
