Port: Controversial Minot lawmaker apparently takes a vacation during closing weeks of the session
Most lawmakers know there’s a time to debate and a time to take a break — and the final weeks of a legislative session usually aren’t the latter. But in Bismarck, while state leaders wrestle with billion-dollar decisions, Rep. Lori VanWinkle of Minot is absent — reportedly on a ski vacation. Her empty seat comes as a surprise to colleagues, some of whom say they weren’t officially notified. For a legislator known for fiery floor speeches, this absence is making headlines of its own. Rob Port with InForum has the full story.
