  • LETTER OPINION 2002-L-22 April 10, 2002 Mr. Garylle B. Stewart
    LETTER OPINION 2002-L-22 April 10, 2002 Mr. Garylle B. Stewart Fargo City Attorney PO Box 1897 Fargo, ND 58107-1897 Dear Mr. Stewart: Thank you for your opinion request regarding whether North Dakota or Minnesota law applies to the operation of a joint dispatch center in Moorhead, Minnesota, under a joint powers agreement. Fargo, North Dakota; Moorhead, Minnesota; Cass County, North Dakota; and Clay County, Minnesota are parties to the joint powers agreement. The agreement establishes a joint board to operate the joint dispatch center. You specifically ask whether the joint board may decide which state’s law applies or whether that decision should be made by the political subdivisions. There is a particular concern about which state’s employment law would apply to personnel of the joint board. There is also concern whether the law of the state where the center is located applies and what would happen if the center relocates to another state or is split between sites in both states. Which state’s law would apply to the joint dispatch center would depend on the facts involved in a specific dispute. The following describes the analysis the North Dakota Supreme Court uses to determine, in a given conflict of laws situation, what law applies. I believe the analysis demonstrates why I am unable to give you a definite answer. The North Dakota Supreme Court has adopted “the significant contacts” test to determine which state’s law applies in a certain dispute.1 Plante v. Columbia Paints, 494 N.W.2d 140, 141 (N.D.

Citizens of North Dakota recognized the negative health effects of tobacco smoke before most of the nation and made attempts to regulate the sale and use of tobacco products throughout the early 1900's.

  • Women Who Have Worked for and Know Joe Biden Are Speaking up To
    Women who have worked for and know Joe Biden are speaking up to share their experiences with Joe Biden, who has always empowered and promoted women in his office and on his team, and been a supportive and warm friend. Here are some examples: ________________________________ “Let me state upfront that I don’t know her, but I absolutely support her right to speak her truth and she should be, like all women, believed. But her story is not mine. The Joe Biden in my picture is a close friend helping someone get through a big day, for which I will always be grateful...But a still shot taken from a video — misleadingly extracted from what was a longer moment between close friends — sent out in a snarky tweet — came to be the lasting image of that day.” Stephanie Carter, wife of the former secretary of defense, Ashton B. Carter (3/31/19, Medium) “She did not think of it as anything. All three of my kids have known Joe their whole lives." Sen. Chris Coons on Biden during 2015 swearing in ceremony (3/30/19, Washington Post) “I respect every woman who chooses to share her uncomfortable (and worse) experiences with men. Their perspectives must be heard and taken seriously. I have worked closely with @JoeBiden for many years. In my experience, he is warm and affectionate with women (and men). But never have I found his actions inappropriate or uncomfortable. I have always appreciated his kindness and warmth. Most importantly, I know @JoeBiden to be a dedicated ally, champion and defender of women and all of our rights.

The program is described as a citizenship learning adventure in which students are provided with opportunities to meet the state's leaders. In this program issues are covered from different sides, seminars provide detailed information, and meetings and discussion groups permit students to share ideas and gain new perspectives. In the program students learn about the political process by focusing on the executive branch of the state government. They get the chance to apply skills such as decision making, debating, and public speaking. This document is divided into five sections. The first is an introduction that includes a profile of the national Close Up program, descriptions of learning activities such as a trip to the nation's capital, and a citizen bee. The overview and goals of the North Dakota program, a map of the ground floor of the state capital, a directory of executive agency offices, and a program evaluation are included.
