FACTS.
All cities, schools and counties in North Dakota are required to publish the minutes
of their meetings in the newspaper. It is fundamental to informing citizens about what
their elected officials are doing. It also helps minimize rumors and misconceptions about
local public entities. In short, it's good government. Yet, there are continuing legislative
threats to diminish or eliminate this important information. What can you do?
Tell your legislators you support the publication of government public notices.
