or floor sessions to decipher the
elected power-brokers and/or paid
lobbyists who have much to say
about dictating outcomes. It's the
way the game is played and the two
biggest players in this session are the
GOP and oil industry/lobby, both of
whom have the advantage of an un-
even playing field.
Another example of that surfaced
in a Senate Appropriations Commit-
tee hearing last week on HB 1234, a
long bill at 20 pages, related to in-
come tax withholding for oil and gas
royalties, to oil extraction tax defini-
tions and exemptions, and the state-
tribal oil tax agreement.
It earlier passed the House on Feb.
25 by a 72-21 margin and has been in
the Senate ever since. The House
vote showed partisanship and, in
turn, GOP support of the oil industry,
as only four Republicans voted
against the bill.
The strong oil lobby stepped up
once again last week in Appropria-
tions Committee testimony in sup-
port of tribal tax provisions of the
bill.
" Increasing the share of oil and
gas tax revenue retumed to the Three
Affiliate Tribes (is) a timely and rea-
sonable request," said Ron Ness,
president of the North Dakota Petro-
leum Council. He said that if opera-
tors do not drill the projected wells as
a result of costs and fees on the reser-
vation, the state will see a much
larger deduction in revenues.
It was suggested in brief discus-
sion that the financial increase for the
tribe was needed since the reserva-
tion has a sovereign government that
can determine who drills, and when,
on reservation land (business deci-
sions the Legislature should stay out

of).
Ness testified of the need for fi-
nancial increase on the reservation
because of the demand placed upon
the land by the oil industry. "Just like
in the counties across the oil patch,
rapid oil and gas development has
impacted Fort Berthold," Ness said.
He also suggesting needs for that
specific community might be greater
than in the general oil patch because
the reservation was lacking services
and infrastructure before the boom
and most recent infrastructure con-
cerns. Reservation needs and oil-op-
eration stability on tribal lands
support the need for the bill, Ness
added.
Fred Fox, vice chairman of the
Three Affiliated Tribes, testified that
the Mandan-Hidatsa-Arikara Nation
faces the "true cost" of oil explo-
ration "financially and in terms of
human impact." He said much of the
tribal income goes to basic tribal
government services such as "

are needed to stabilize the economy, and that more housing is needed.
Having a sports center in town that could be used for hosting large events
would be a plus, he said.
Kelly Groll said her essay included referring to how well Beach is ad=
dressing recycling and the good protection provided by the sheriff's de-
partment.
Cash prizes for first, second and third place were $75, $50 and $25.
Other activities during the week included Mayor Walt Losinski visiting
with students at Lincoln Elementary, and a free pet licensing day. Forty-
three pets were licensed.

healthcare, affordable housing,
potable water law enforcement,
elderly services and road mainte-
nance and improvement."
Fox said the Tribal Business
Council continues its stated position:
" both the state and tribe (should)
share equally in the oil and gas rev-
enues generated on the Fort Berthold
Reservation."
HB1234 is a good vehicle to cr~-
ate oil industry revenue "equality"
for all of North Dakota's men,
women and children. The committee
agreed with a "do pass" recommen-
dation - but only after an amendment
that clouds trust and implies greater
legislative equity.
If the bill passes, the tribe will
now be required to report annually to
legislative management the financial
investments in "essential infrastruc-
ture and fees and expenses." That
begs a question of just how much the
Legislature is staying out of the busi-
ness of a sovereign nation.
