In Denver last week, North Dakota Congressman Earl Pomeroy was busy snapping photos from the floor of the Democratic convention. Last night Congressman Pomeroy spoke here in Bismarck at the United Tribes International Pow Wow and presented United Tribes Technical College President David Gipp with one of the photos he had taken last week. Here are some photos... Photos by JL
While walking around the outside of the Lone Star Arena checking out the exhibits, I heard someone speaking over the public address system, but didn't recognize the voice. It was a man's voice and he was talking about how every year the Republicans have been defunding United Tribes Technical College and every year our congressional delegation has to go in and claw and scratch to get this important college the funding it needs to continue it's critical educational programs. I didn't know who it was that was talking as I checked out the display booths and signed the health care petition, but I think I know who it was now. For the record, United Tribes Technical College is not a "pet project" and is not an "earmark."
