News from Headquarters
Today, Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani will be in Fargo for a private noon time fundraiser. A luncheon and photo op will run you a measly $1,000. Just the lunch will run you a mere $250. The event will start at 11:30 a.m. and be held at Rose Creek's Seasons restaurant.
Does Giuliani share North Dakota's interests? Well, you decide.
Giuliani agrees with President Bush's Iraq policies, supports the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, and is for trade policies that aren't good for our farmers.
In addition, Giuliani has been in some hot water lately because of his ties to disgraced former New York City Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik. Kerik has recently been indicted on corruption charges. Click here for more on that.
Also, Giuliani's own daughter is not supporting him for president. Click here for that story.
No more Hoeven
Yesterday, Sen. Tim Mathern and party Executive Director Jamie Selzler sent out statements about Gov. John Hoeven's bid for re-election.
Here are some highlights:
Mathern:
"Under Hoeven, North Dakota ranks one of the highest in the country with workers holding multiple jobs. This is because North Dakota ranks almost dead last in wages.
"Health care, energy prices, property taxes and tuition are through the roof. Folks are having a hard time paying the bills. Addressing these factors is why a new administration is needed."
Selzler:
"John Hoeven is going around the state doing press conferences today while more turmoil mounts at a government agency. John Hoeven has practically done nothing to solve problems at Workforce Safety and Insurance. The situation is sad for this state and is unfair to injured workers.
"On this governor's watch, property taxes and college tuition have skyrocketed. He continually boasts about his expensive economic development policies, but North Dakota wages still rank at some of the lowest in the country."
