Last week, Gov. Burgum joined host Margaret Brennan on CBS's "Face the Nation" to discuss a number of topics including the nation's fentanyl crisis.
Also joining the interview were Govs. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire, Michelle Lujan Grisham of New Mexico and Wes Moore of Maryland.
Brennen kicked off the panel discussion by asking Gov. Burgum about the fentanyl crisis, which was a topic when governors from across the nation recently joined administration officials at the White House as part of the National Governors Association's Winter Meeting.
"By collaborating, investing in community resources, and working to change behavior we can improve the health and well-being of individuals and families and help them reach their full potential, while at the same time reducing the need for safety net services provided DHHS and other providers in our state," Miller said. "And to do that, we need to acknowledge and understand the disparities and barriers that exist, and we need to collaborate to reduce those barriers and break cycles. And that's why we are so grateful for this student by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota's Caring Foundation and NDSU's Center for Social Research."
“The State Water Commission continues to fund critical infrastructure to meet our state’s flood protection and water supply needs,” Burgum said. “The cost-share requests approved today will benefit citizens across our state, including providing north-central and northwest North Dakota with infrastructure to support the development and growth of healthy, vibrant communities that can attract and retain a 21st century workforce.”
