  • 2021 FPA-ND Legislative Scorecard
    2021 NORTH DAKOTA LEGISLATIVE REPORT CARD 67th LEGISLATIVE SESSION ABOUT THE SCORECARD We are pleased to share this scorecard for the 2021 North Dakota state legislative session. This is a snapshot of how lawmakers voted on key social and moral legislation related to life, education, family, religious freedom, and similar issues. Guided by our mission of building a state where God is honored, religious freedom flourishes, families thrive, and life is cherished, the scorecard focuses on seven bills. This scorecard is not an endorsement of any candidate or political party. It does not measure any lawmakers’ integrity, commitment to their faith, work ethic, or rapport with Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota. It is only a report on how each lawmaker voted. Please continue to hold our legislators accountable for their voting records and please pray that they may always vote in ways that uphold your biblical values as they make important decisions for our state. Sincerely, Mark Jorritsma Executive Director, Family Policy Alliance of North Dakota HOW WE FIGURED THE GRADES A bill is typically passed by a simple majority in the Senate (24 votes out of 47 senators) and the House (48 votes out of 94 Representatives.) Lawmakers earned percentage grades ranging from 0% to 100%, based upon dividing the candidate’s number of good votes cast by the number of total bills he/she voted on. The higher the score, the better their ranking. Not all lawmakers voted on every bill; the number of absences on these key bills is also noted and we encourage you to review whether your legislator actually voted on these important bills.

    January 2019 | Volume XXXVI | No. 1 aicpa fall meeting of council By Patrick Kautzman, AICPA Council Member Since TCJA passed last December, we have heard from a multitude of professionals with varying levels of concern regarding the continued existence of the food and beverage deduction in light of the fate of entertainment expenses. Well, Notice 2018-76, issued October 3, 2018, clarifies that taxpayers generally may continue to deduct 50% of the food and beverage expenses associated with operating their trade or business. Professional Issues Update by Barry Meloncon, President and CEO of AICPA Barry’s professional issues update included his recurring reminders of the rapid pace of innovation and disruption in our world and our industry. • Since the year 2000, 41% of S&P consumer-centric companies have been acquired 2019 or gone out of business and 39% of the 5th to 85th largest firms no longer exist as standalone firms. Conference dates • The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report shows that of the top 10 de- clining jobs by 2022, #2 is Accounting, Bookkeeping, and Payroll Clerks and #7 is Accountants and Auditors. Barry’s response: They are referring to an industry that Management Conference is unwilling to change and adapt! He broke a future ready strategy down into 3 parts: May 22-23 • Technology – Master it before it masters you Fargo Holiday Inn • Trust – Build on CPAs expertise • Talent – Think broader Summer variety pack Technology – CPAs must embrace “Software as a Service” through client accounting June 17-19 services and virtual CFO services, “Big Data and Analytics”, “Artificial Intelligence” through Bismarck Ramkota machine learning and virtual assistance, and “Blockchain”.
