Burgum, you ll recall, declared political war on the Bastiats in the 2020 election, and Magrum was one of the targets. This bill, as I m sure Magrum knows, is a nonstarter. It s basically the political equivalent of flipping Burgum “the bird.”
Anyway, karma has a way of sorting things out. Burgum s political action committee successfully primaried budget hawk and longtime House Appropriations Chairman Rep. Jeff Delzer, R-Underwood, but when Burgum s candidate, Dave Andahl, died of COVID shortly before the election (and still won), District 8 Republicans put Delzer back into the Legislature.
Burgum may have a reputation as having a Midas Touch when it comes to business but when it comes to politics, you may want to think twice before you take his call.
