North Dakota Corruption

I have found through dealings with various ND State departments that there is a reason you will find North Dakota on the list of being the most corrupt state in the United States.  Hoeven and Company have set up the state of North Dakota to line their pockets and totally destroy our natural resources and the health of the residents without a second thought.  The ND State Health Department and The ND Oil and Gas work hand in hand to exploit the process.  The ND Oil and Gas allows industry to continue with very little supervision and the ND Health Department REFUSES to monitor air quality and adjusts water reports to meet their needs.  How many years has this been happening?   I have found that I am not the only landowner in the state of ND with contaminated water and health and livestock issues, this is unfortunate but will finally bring this info to public attention.  The time has come that the residents of North Dakota know the effect and serious damage corruption within state government will do.  There has for some time been a high asthma and cancer rate in the state of ND, which seems odd considering the fact that a rural lifestyle should be much healthier. Facts are that our own ND state have allowed industry to destroy our air and water with deadly toxins that are causing this.  Pay offs from companies in the right pocket will create laws that allow extreme contamination that put health at risk.  Some time back we all heard of the ND Game and Fish report that was strangely  hidden when John Hoeven was Governor, and the negative effects the Oil Industry would have on our wildlife.  This is a very good example of how unimportant health and welfare are in our ND State Departments. I would imagine the report about the effects on human life are still on someone's desk somewhere yet to surface. In the state of ND you are warned not to eat the fish caught in our lakes and rivers because of high mercury levels and high levels of hexavalent chromium has been found in groundwater from coal contamination. What reports will be next, with the use of things like urea, formaldehyde, diesel and other carcinogenic chemicals in fracking.  One thing is for sure, you can bet the the ND State Health Department is NOT looking out for your health and welfare and doing proper testing to protect us. You can begin your own research by requesting public reports, good luck with this, it seems to be a problem with the ND State Health Department to release public information. The United States does have a Freedom of Information Act to give the public access to these reports, I guess ND has not gotten that memo yet.
