Former North Dakota Gov. Allen Olson dies at 87
Allen Olson served one term as North Dakota’s governor, from 1981 to 1984. He lost his reelection bid after a newspaper report revealed he hadn’t filed his taxes—but he never held a grudge. The editor who ran that story said the two became friends. That says something. Olson, who died Friday at 87, also served eight years as attorney general and helped shape the state’s charitable gambling rules. He was remembered this week as decent, steady, and proud of where he came from. Jeff Beach with North Dakota Monitor has the full profile on the former Governor.
