Good morning, Fargo.

Fargo's former lawmaker and North Dakota Insurance Commissioner Jim Poolman released a statement on Monday night denying any involvement in Ray Holmberg’s alleged criminal sexual behavior with minors—he said he had fully cooperated with Homeland Security and believes he is being unfairly targeted due to his recent coming out.

AFL-CIO survey found that nearly seven out of 100,000 workers in North Dakota died on the job last year, making the state the sixth most dangerous to work in.

The report also showed it had the second-highest rate of workplace injuries and officials blamed cuts to OSHA inspections—reducing the number of checks—for the rise in incidents.

Governor Kelly Armstrong signed nearly 500 bills into law on April 29 that cap insulin prices for commercial plans at 25 dollars a month — a rule that does not apply to self-insured plans — and set up a public website for Legacy Fund investments while also repealing a decades-old law on HIV penalties. The legislature must finish its 80-day session by May 9.

Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski supports a new ND bill that would let police ticket a vehicle's owner even if they were not driving—legislation passed by the Legislature has been sent to Governor Kelly Armstrong for review.

Critics argue the law could remove the presumption of innocence and challenge constitutional rights—opponents call for further review.
