North Dakota officially becomes the first state to access FAA data for drone operations
GRAND FORKS — North Dakota has officially become the first state to access Federal Aviation Administration drone radar. Access to the FAA data is a significant milestone that will support North Dakota's unmanned aircraft operations, according to a release from the North Dakota Information Technology Department. Now Vantis — the state's platform for advanced UAS operations, administered by the Northern Plains UAS Test Site in Grand Forks — will be able to receive continuous radar data on aircraft activity. This will help drones safely operate alongside traditional aircraft, NDIT said. null The development has been in the works for a number of years. Speaking with the Grand Forks Herald in February, Sen. John Hoeven said access to the federal data would cement North Dakota as the most advanced UAS ecosystem in the nation. “It puts us ahead of anyone else in the country in a big way,” Hoeven, R-N.D., said at that time. “For them to catch up and try to do what we’re doing, they’ve got a lot of work to do to get there.” Access to the federal radar will "unlock safer and more efficient drone operations," the release from the NDIT said, and will support drone operations in emergency response and search-and-rescue missions, infrastructure inspection and monitoring, agricultural operations and precision agriculture, and expanded service deliver in rural communities. The announcement is the result of significant work and collaboration between Vantis, federal partners and NDIT teams, the release said. Work to build the secure infrastructure required to meet strict federal security standards included developing protected network pathways, secure computing environments, firewalls and systems capable of processing real-time aviation data. "Behind every major technology milestone is a lot of careful work that most people never see," said Corey Mock, chief information officer for the state. "Our teams were proud to help build the secure infrastructure needed to safely connect federal aviation data with the Vantis system. This is a strong example of how IT drives innovation across North Dakota."

Plain Talk: Cramer says 'This is not a place where you can burn a lot of bridges'
MINOT — Sen. Kevin Cramer and I have had a running dispute over President Donald Trump and his approach to politics. Cramer says media critics like me are too focused on Trump's antics. I say people like Cramer are too muted in their own criticism. "I'm a United States senator from North Dakota who has a really good personal relationship with the president of the United States," Cramer said in defense of his stance on this episode of Plain Talk, "and there is a long list of advantages for the people of North Dakota because of that relationship." "This is not a place where you can burn a lot of bridges," he added. Cramer also accused the news media of not being focused enough on the accomplishments of the Trump era, including tax reform. "My complaint is not just that they aren't covering the tax cuts enough. It's that certain media outlets are so fascinated by the rants and raves of people about the evils of Donald Trump and Republicans, but they don't write about the accomplishments," he said. "In fact, they almost don't publish any of it." He also talked about the war President Trump has launched against Iran, and whether it needs congressional approval. "In the case of the War Powers Act, there's a pretty strong argument -- it's never been tested, mind you, but pretty strong argument -- that the War Powers Act as a piece of legislation, as a power that Congress has passed in law, is not even constitutional," he said. "But having said that, as it stands, the War Powers Act is what requires the president to, when he does enact a kinetic conflict like we're in with Iran right now, he has 60 days in which to either get out of it or inform Congress so he can get an extension." Cramer says he believes Trump should want congressional approval. Also on this episode, Cramer talks about his efforts to improve U.S. relations with Canada, and co-host Chad Oban and I discuss the out of state money funding Together for School Meals, the ballot measure campaign to have the state cover the cost of school meals for parents.

Shaw: Our local leaders oppose free and fair elections
The SAVE America Act is a dangerous bill that will end our system of free and fair elections. North Dakota Rep. Julie Fedorchak and Minnesota Rep. Michelle Fischbach shamefully voted for it. Not surprisingly, North Dakota Sens. John Hoeven and Kevin Cramer support it. This writer believes voters should have to show ID at voting locations, but this legislation goes way beyond that. It would require voters to bring their passports or birth certificates every time they vote. However, half of Americans don’t have passports (they’re not legally required) and tens of millions don’t have their birth certificates. It’s even harder for women whose married names aren’t on their passports or birth certificates. Would the government pay tens of millions of Americans to get passports or birth certificates? I doubt it. It’s all part of a strategy to prevent millions of American citizens from voting. Republicans know they’re going to lose the midterms. This bill will try to prevent that by cheating. On top of all that, this bill federalizes our elections, which is unconstitutional. One frightening provision is that states would be required to send all voter data to the Department of Homeland Security. Nothing good can come from that. The SAVE Act is based on two big lies. The first one is that the 2020 presidential election was rigged and insecure. By supporting this bill, Fedorchak, Fischbach, Hoeven and Cramer are playing along with that lie. We should never forget that in one of her first acts in office, Fischbach obscenely voted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The facts are that Donald Trump’s election cybersecurity director Chris Krebs said the 2000 election was extremely secure, Trump’s attorney general Bill Barr said there was no widespread fraud, and that Trump lost about 62 lawsuits contesting the legality of the election. Trump knows he lost, but because of his fragile ego, he can’t admit it. The second big lie is that many noncitizens are voting. Actually, it’s extremely rare. The numbers are minuscule. Frankly, noncitizens would be crazy to try to vote because they would likely be deported. Noncitizen voting does not affect election outcomes. Fedorchak said the bill will “restore trust” and that “Nothing in this bill changes…how state elections are run in any state.” Oh, please. Since when do any states require passports or birth certificates to vote? Also, the only reason there's any lack of trust is because people like Fedorchak keep deceiving us about our election security. Cramer wrote, “Elections must be decided by citizens, and citizens alone.” They are. If Cramer has proof of noncitizens deciding elections, let’s hear it. Our elections are extremely safe, secure and fair. There is no significant voter fraud. Shame on Hoeven, Cramer, Fedorchak and Fischbach for pretending otherwise. The SAVE Act is unnecessary and unAmerican. It would disenfranchise millions of voters and destroy our democracy.
