Why We Chose It
It was just yesterday and five years earlier in Minot our local editor was speaking out in favor of greater investment in outdoor recreation. And five years later, the editorial selection was still advancing news selections that told the positive stories of North Dakota’s parks. After a decade of hearing editorials and seeing positive news, the larger investment in our state park system and outdoor recreation began to materialize. If you want to change government, prepare to spend a lot of time doing it.
