GOVERNMENT NEWS
- ➤ The N.D. DOT presented four options to improve the Hwy 83—23 intersection after 12 fatal crashes in 25 years and a recent accident that killed horses; building an interchange is the most supported option and could begin once federal funding is secured, though construction may not start for 10 years. Public comments remain open until April 15. KFYR-TV
- ➤ House lawmakers cleared a backlog of Senate‐returned bills today—one bill sets new rules for cryptocurrency kiosks with a $2,000 daily limit, two bills add measures for political advertising that require AI disclaimers and punish misinformation, and another bill allows safe haven baby boxes for newborns. All the bills now head to the governor for his signature. KFYR-TV
- ➤ After Mayor Tom Ross resigned Tuesday, the city council voted to wait 15 days and then choose a current council member as mayor—though many local citizens on Facebook say a special election should be held. A city spokesperson said a petition with 293 signatures will be needed— and Council President Mark Jantzer is now serving until a new leader is chosen. KFYR-TV
