  • 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.
