The path state government has been on for for the last decade is not sustainable. No matter how comforting the ads of candidates for office might be, the only thing that really matters is the candidates' grasp on reality
The fact is, all the candidates understand reality - few are willing to admit it.
How can North Dakota's problem be solved by people that have been there and done nothing to call for reforms and changes?
This is not about being doom and gloom or saying the sky is falling - this is about making sure our state leaders realize that the situation they are dealing with are not as stable as they try to make the public think.
Be sure your candidate accepts these realities, or that you are willing to accept the consequences if they do not.
