On Jan 7, 2020 Jim Roers and Shannon Roers Jones were guests on AM1100 the Flag.
Make no mistake, Fargo lawmakers are colluding to find a way into the ND Legacy Fund and drain the fund.
As of January 2020 the ND Legacy Fund has a stated value around $5.5 billion.
Politicians never found a dollar they didn’t want to spend, especially when it benefits themselves.
This is an election year and politicians will do anything and say anything to solicit your vote.

When Jim Roers, other Fargo lawmakers and diversion proponents that “drank the kool-aid” try to gaslight you on the (FMDA) Fargo Dam and FM Diversion project ~ take a look back and understand how confirmation bias turned a $400 million flood control project into a $4-$5 billion dollar development plan disguised as flood control.

| 11/18/2010 | First Public Notice of Upstream Impacts: USACE and local leaders arguably unveil what was talked about during their closed door meeting held 6 days after the Cass county sales tax vote. Diversion planners try to assert that the shift was a new surprise and that it all occurred in the few days since the county sales tax vote. Yet, it was lightly referenced by former Fargo commissioner Mike Williams in April 2010 and by the USACE when they raised the 100 year level in May 2010. For 6 months diversion planners were dealing with engineers armed with new data and using a shorter sequence of history created by the EOE panel for analysis, found reason to expand the NED project – those numbers were released May 13, 2010.Cass County Joint Water Resource District minutes from Sept 24, 2010 indicate the USACE was well aware that significant impacts were occurring upstream and considered moving the inlet structure 6 miles north. All the “new impacts” are based on the synthetic event (not existing conditions) created by the EOE panel which which was used to increase the 100 year flood event and downgrade the record 2009 flood event. This was the first time upstream property owners were notified they would be impacted by nearly 8.5 feet of water after having been denied due process, participation or a seat at the table preparing themselves for the challenges to come. In short, the USACE and diversion planners didn’t want upstream property owners to have timely opportunities to raise a legal challenge ~ like downstream opponents did as the project developed. The USACE and diversion planners waited 234 days to notify upstream properties of intended impacts. (read more…) |

This is the biggest waste of tax payers money in the history of the United States. I have never seen people so excited to scam the tax payer.
Bill is right. To saddle the state, county, and federal government with a 5 billion $ bill is ridiculous. Any Nd resident should be screaming at the top of there lungs. This has been a con job from the beginning and just a big payout for all involved.
