Brock Purdy will miss Sunday's game for the 49ers with a shoulder injuryGRAND FORKS — A number of state lawmakers and elected officials believe a statewide workforce shortage is among North Dakota's biggest problems. State Rep. Emily O'Brien says it might be wise to consider deeper issues that could be exacerbating the issue. ADVERTISEMENT O'Brien, a Republican who represents District 42, believes behavioral health and addiction are at a crisis point in the state. That crisis, she said, is the root of a three-legged problem: shortages in housing, workforce and daycare. "There was progress made last session on the State Hospital and we will continue to make progress moving forward. But that project will take time," she said. "We have the opportunity to do private-public partnerships to help address the need and crisis now. People cannot wait any longer." O'Brien's concerns were among those outlined by the three members of District 42's legislative delegation — which also includes Sen. Claire Cory and Rep. Doug Osowski — in response to a Grand Forks Herald questionnaire. O'Brien has the most tenure of the three, having served in the House since 2016. Cory first arrived in the House in 2019 and earned a seat in the Senate in the recent November election. Osowski is a legislative newcomer, also winning in November. District 42 generally includes far western Grand Forks, on the west side of I-29, along with a strip of land that reaches to Grand Forks Air Force Base. It also includes an area that juts eastward into Grand Forks, between DeMers Avenue and Gateway Drive. The session begins Jan. 7 in Bismarck. Below are the three candidates' answers to questions posed by the Herald: Affiliation: Republican ADVERTISEMENT Q. Now that the election is over, what do you see as the most pressing issue for Grand Forks during the coming legislative session? One of the most pressing issues continues to be the tax burden on the residents of District 42. As I did in the House, I will work diligently this upcoming session to deliver meaningful tax relief to District 42 and the people of North Dakota. Q. Workforce is an ongoing concern in North Dakota. What must the Legislature do to reduce the number of job openings in the state? Specifically, what would you hope to do? (Note: This particular question was asked of the candidates prior to the election) We should incentivize companies to move here by providing them with a business-friendly environment. We should also look to develop partnerships with the private sector to capitalize on opportunities. Lastly, we should create a workforce marketing campaign targeting critical industries in North Dakota, such as education, health care, technology, aviation and energy. Affiliation: Republican Q. Now that the election is over, what do you see as the most pressing issue for Grand Forks during the coming legislative session? There are several pressing issues for Grand Forks for this legislative session - property taxes, increase in health insurance premiums, insurance premiums overall, behavioral health pandemic we are currently facing, affordable housing, over population of individuals incarcerated, adjustments to the childcare legislation that was passed last session, funding for Nathan Twining Elementary School, and these are just to name a few. Solutions and compromises will need to be made not only across the aisle, but across the chamber as well. I believe in our current leadership that we will be able to deliver the best possible outcomes this session with the information we have at hand and the resources available. Q. If you could sum up one great concern that you hear from your constituents, what is it? Is there something that can or should be done about it? If so, what? Right now, behavioral health and addiction is a huge crisis that impacts many — which creates a domino effect to housing and childcare and work force. There was progress made last session on the State Hospital and we will continue to make progress moving forward. But that project will take time. We have the opportunity to do private-public partnerships to help address the need and crisis now. People can not wait any longer. When you have an individual that is committed to getting help, you can't skip a beat. ADVERTISEMENT Q. Workforce is an ongoing concern in North Dakota. What must the Legislature do to reduce the number of job openings in the state? Specifically, what would you hope to do? (Note: This particular question was asked of the candidates prior to the election) Serving on the Workforce Development Council, we have dove into the Office of Legal Immigration, recently established during the last legislative session. Some opportunities we have discussed are pilot relocation and job placement efforts for legal immigrants and work-authorized individuals residing within the United States, developing a cost-share program for transportation and housing to support foreign-born workers, removing barriers – such as language barriers, expansion of Vocational Rehab services to justice-involved individuals with disabilities from incarceration through reentry, and disability-related accommodations to qualifying employees, to name a few! Affiliation: Republican Q. Now that the election is over, what do you see as the most pressing issue for Grand Forks during the coming legislative session? I see that tax reform is a pressing issue. Q. If you could sum up one great concern that you hear from your constituents, what is it? Is there something that can or should be done about it? If so, what? Government needs to address people’s needs. Tax reform is a must, and I have heard that education expenses are important. My understanding is that the North Dakota Constitution says that the state is to fund 100% of education. When I hear teachers needing to fund field trips and PTO groups are fundraising for school supplies, these are basic needs for students! What are we doing to see that these needs are met? Children are the future, and they need a good education; They shouldn’t have to worry about school supplies or be concerned if there enough money is in their lunch account for them to eat! These are real concerns and should be addressed. Q. Workforce is an ongoing concern in North Dakota. What must the Legislature do to reduce the number of job openings in the state? Specifically, what would you hope to do? (Note: This particular question was asked of the candidates prior to the election) One way is to reduce regulations for the employment of 16- and 17-year-olds. One example would be allowing this age group to work in construction. Parents will decide if their children are able to work in these areas.

Pep Guardiola can't win at the minute when he steps out in public for his job. Every word and action from the dugout or press conference room is latched on by anyone with an opinion to extract supposed bigger consequences as Manchester City's atrocious run of form places more microscopes over the Etihad. The same 'body language expert' who used an interview Guardiola did with Italian TV in October to assert that the City manager had 'already accepted an offer' to leave has moved on to peddle new revelations. As Guardiola has said, he was never cool - you only have to watch one game with him on the touchline to see that - but winning made him cool. Now nothing he does can make him look good, but claw marks over his head or a bloodied nose will draw extra attention. City as a club enter the January transfer window in a similar position. It is nearly two years since the Premier League charges dropped and 'business as usual' is a phrase that has often been used inside the Etihad to describe their activities: new contracts and sponsorship deals have been signed, trophies have been won, and hundreds...
