Aamoth was born in Valley City, North Dakota, on April 11, 1914, and died suddenly in Bismarck, North Dakota, on September 1, 1972, at the age of 57 years. The only son of the late Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Aamoth, Gordon moved to Fargo with his parents in 1918. The name of Gordon Aamoth has appeared in headlines from his Fargo Central High School days when he excelled in scholarship, athletics and a vari- ety of other activities. He was named Central's most representative boy in the 1932 senior class, was in the National Honor Society, was captain of the football team and was named an all-state high school basketball guard. He was an outstanding athlete and scholar at the University of North Dakota where he was awarded a Degree in Com- merce in 1936 and a Law Degree in 1938. Gordon was captain of the Sioux basketball team in his senior year and was given the Blue Key Award as the senior athlete with the highest scholastic attain- ment. He was an all-conference basketball star. Gordon Aamoth had combined a private career as a business- man and attorney with a public career in politics that was culmin- ated in his election as Speaker of the North Dakota House of Repre- sentatives in 1967. Elected as a Republican to the North Dakota House, he served his first session in 1957 and was re-elected every two years thereafter usually leading the Legislative slate of candi- dates in number of votes. His popularity at the polls was an en- dorsement of his political philosophy that emphasized strong fiscal control and faith in the free enterprise system. In 1963 he served as Assistant Majority Leader in the House. He was elected Speaker in 1967 without opposition in the controlling Republican caucus. Fre- quently mentioned as a potential gubernatorial candidate, in 1968, Mr. Aamoth sought the Republican endorsement during an impor- tant election year for the office of Lieutenant Governor. Gordon was an avid golfer and in 1960 served as President of the North Dakota Golf Association. He was a staunch supporter NORTH DAKOTA LAW REVIEW of the recreational programs in his community of Fargo. He served eight years as a member of the Fargo Park Board, having been appointed in 1956, and elected to office twice thereafter. He served as President of the Board in 1962. Following his graduation from the University, Gordon returned to Fargo to enter the theater business with his family. He was ad- mitted to the Bar in 1939. At the outbreak of World War II, Gordon was commissioned an ensign in the United States Navy. He served until January 1946 when he was, discharged as a lieutenant (J.G.). After leaving the theater business, Gordon served briefly as an As- sistant Cass County States Attorney before joining the Trust Depart- ment of The First National Bank and Trust Company of Fargo as a lawyer and Assistant Trust Officer. He later served as a Trust Officer. After having been nominated as a candidate for a 21st Dis- trict Republican Senate seat in September 1970, Gordon resigned to accept appointment as an economic development representative for the State of North Dakota for the U. S. Economic Development Administration. He was serving in that capacity at the time of his death. Gordon married Margaret Louis McCannel, daughter of the late Dr. and Mrs. A. D. McCannel of Minot, North Dakota, in 1939. In addition to his wife, he is survived by three sons, Gordon M., Bruce, and Archie, and two daughters, Caroline Tisza and Jane. Gordon was a true gentleman. Kind and considerate, he was a de- voted family man and was happiest when surrounded by members of his family. WILLIAM J. McMENAMY (1930 - 1972) William James McMenamy was born October 10, 1930, at Grand Forks, North Dakota, the son of Warren and Edith McMenamy. He graduated from the University of North Dakota with a bachelor of science degree in business administration in 1957 and received a law degree from the University of North Dakota in 1959, passing his bar examination in July of that year. He died April 21, 1972, en route to a local hospital after accidentally choking on some food while eating at a local restaurant.

Palda, Sr., attorney of Minot, North Dakota, died at his summer home at Lake Kenosee near Carlyle, Saskatchewan, on Monday, May 29, 1972. At the time of his death he was seventy one (71) years of age. Mr. Palda was the second generation of Paldas to practice law in Minot. His death brings to a near close a breed of colorful trial lawyers in the Minot region who were noted for their dramatic and emotional presentations in court. Born at Elgin, Iowa, on July 22, 1900, Mr. Palda moved to Kenmare, North Dakota, and then to Minot with his parents, the late L. J. Palda, Jr. and Mrs. Palda. L. J. Palda was a former district judge.

Survivors include his wife, Thelma; a son, Robert W., also an attorney who has been associated in the practice of law with his father; two daughters, Barbara Mills and Charlotte M. Palda, all of Minot; one brother, Charles H. Palda, Sr., Fort Lauderdale, Fla.; eight grandchildren and one great grandchild. Members of the law profession regarded him as a leading figure in government and business affairs, and the general opinion was that he made a great contribution to the welfare of his com- munity in every respect during his career. GEORGE S. REGISTER (1901 - 1972) Senior United States District Judge George S. Register died suddenly at Bismarck, North Dakota, on March 18, 1972. In his passing, the Federal Judiciary lost one of its most able, conscientious and respected members. Judge Register was born November 27, 1901, in Bismarck, North Dakota, the son of pioneer lawyer George M. and Minnie Scott Register. He completed his primary and secondary education in the Bismarck public schools. In 1923 he graduated with high honors from Jamestown College, completing a four year pre-law course in three years.

  • April 12, 2021 the Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota
    April 12, 2021 The Honorable Doug Burgum Governor of North Dakota 600 E. Boulevard Bismarck, ND 58505 Dear Governor Burgum, As organizations representing physicians, long-term care providers and hospitals, we, the undersigned, sincerely thank you for your leadership throughout the pandemic. As North Dakota’s infection rates climbed and deaths increased, you recognized that local control efforts were not enough and took charge by implementing stronger controls to stop the spread. We applaud you for placing health needs and saving lives before politics. We, the undersigned, oppose HB 1323, as it eliminates authority for the governor and state health officer when North Dakota needs it most – during a pandemic. Your leadership of implementing a state-wide mask mandate significantly reduced COVID-19 infections throughout North Dakota. Statistics show North Dakota went from a high of 11,301 current infections on November 14 to 4,758 infections on December 7 – a 58 percent reduction. During this same period, North Dakota’s 14 day rolling average of positivity went from 15.70 percent on November 14 to 9.79 percent on December 6. Your actions saved lives. North Dakota’s infection rates were the highest in the country. People were dying. The most vulnerable – the elderly and long-term care residents – became the highest COVID-19 war casualties. Although this group represented only 10 percent of infections, statistics show this group resulted in 60 percent of deaths. We lost mothers, fathers, grandparents and loved ones way too soon, leaving survivors to deal with war-torn scars. As we learned from experience, voluntary mask requests and localized mandates are not effective.

The States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas file this suit to compel the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“ Administrator ” or “ EPA ”), to take action mandated by the federal Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. §§ 7401 et seq. (the “ CAA ”) to designate areas of the country as attaining or not attaining the revised primary sulfur dioxide (“ SO 2”) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (“ NAAQS ”). On June 2, 2010 the Administrator signed and EPA promulgated the revised SO 2 NAAQS. See 75 Fed. Reg. 35,520 (June 22, 2010) (the “ SO 2 NAAQS ”). Once EPA sets a new or revised NAAQS, the CAA requires States to submit within one year to EPA information indicating which part of that State meets the new or revised NAAQS. 42 U.S.C. § 7407(d). Plaintiffs the States of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nevada and Texas each timely submitted to EPA their proposed designations. The CAA then establishes a nondiscretionary duty for the Administrator to designate all areas of the country as (1) “attainment” (if they are attaining the new or revised NAAQS), (2) “nonattainment” (if they are not attaining the NAAQS), or (3) “unclassifiable” (if there is inadequate information to make a designation).

  • Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? a Regression Discontinuity Design
    1 Paper Presented for 5th Annual Public Finance Consortium— “Politics and Administration in Public Finance” School of Public and Environmental Affairs Indiana University, Bloomington Do Top Business Leaders Make Good Governors? A Regression Discontinuity Design Can Chen, PhD Associate Professor Andrew Young School of Policy Studies Georgia State University Boyuan Zhao PhD Candidate Department of Public Policy and Administration Florida International University Please do not cite this paper without the authors’ permission. 1 2 INTRODUCTION Recently, a growing number of politicians with prominent business backgrounds are joining the battlefield of politics, running for key positions in offices. Donald Trump is the most recent example of a U.S. president who has constructed his own successful business empire before his political life. At state level, successful business figures have turned into politics and won governorship in different states. For example, Rick Scott, the 45th governor of Florida, was the owner of Hospital Corporation of America and a venture capitalist, and Kevin Stitt, current governor of Oklahoma, was the founder, chairman and CEO of Gateway Mortgage Group. These candidates have successful executive experience as business leaders, while many of them have little or no experience in public offices prior to their governor tenure. Their professional career path distinctively contrasts with “conventional” career politicians who typically hold law degrees, start their career from legal affair positions, and climb up the political ladder gradually. State governors are key actors in the budgeting process of the states. Governors are responsible for budget development and recommendation, in which promote their policy preference. Besides, they have line-item veto power on the state budget.
