Port: To some NDGOP lawmakers, religion comes before economics With all due respect to our majority leader, opened up enough is a tough pill to swallow for the bar and restaurant owners who have closed their doors, Sen. Scott Meyer said. 10:23 am, Jan. 27, 2021 ×
MINOT, N.D. It takes a lot of chutzpah for someone like
Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, a Republican from Dickinson, to say that the Legislature has opened it up enough when it comes to business hours for the hospitality industry.
Is Wardner blind to what s been going on in the world? The pandemic has, rightly, prompted limitations on the state s businesses, and it s been the bars and restaurants who have taken that regulatory right-hook to the chin.
