“Our nation continues to be a shining beacon of freedom for the world because of the service and sacrifice of our military veterans and the families who support and serve alongside them,” Burgum said. “On Veterans Day, and every day, we share our gratitude with the more 50,000 military veterans in North Dakota and pledge our support for the men and women in uniform who defend our liberty and fight to protect our American values, promoting freedom and democracy around the world and creating peace through strength.”
Gov. Burgum expressed his gratitude for Team ND members' response to a major winter storm Thursday and Friday that shuttered the Capitol and other state facilities, forced closures on Interstates 29 and 94 and other highways, and dumped a record amount of snow for Nov. 10.
"Basin Electric’s success is a credit to the 131 member cooperatives that make up its all-of-the-above energy mix," Sanford said. "We’re grateful to all of the board members and managers from all of the co-ops in the nine states that get their wholesale power from Basin Electric. With 3 million electric customers, you all play a key role in providing reliable, low-cost wholesale power to rural America. Your investment in our infrastructure and communities provides not only energy, but jobs and economic strength."
With the 2023 legislative session fast approaching, the Governor’s Office and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) have been working with state agencies to craft the executive budget proposal for presentation to the Legislature’s organizational session on Dec. 7.
