You'll recall how all of North Dakota's radio and TV stations are voluntarily giving equal time to North Dakota Insurance Commissioner candidate Jasper Schneider because his opponent used federal money to pay for a political campaign commercial dressed up as a Public Service Announcement? Well Jasper Schneider has his response ad put together and going out onto the airwaves this week. Here's a sneak peak: I think it's a pretty good ad, but it's still troubling that Hamm was allowed to use tax money to fund his ad while Jasper's ad presumably had to be paid for with political campaign money. Maybe there will be accountability for a North Dakota Republican this one time. Doubt it. Jasper also is in the news today. He is calling for a state disaster relief fund. Seems like a good idea.
