Letter: Proposed Corn mill a negative for all of North Dakota

The standard of life we now have had in North Dakota is what makes it nice to dwell right here. We honor working exhausting and making a dwelling, household, and faith. With the potential creation of a corn mill in Grand Forks we’ll lose the spirit of what North Dakota means.

To start with the

residents of Grand Forks have misplaced their potential to petition town authorities,

which is protected within the First Modification of the U.S. Structure. Town council and mayor usually are not representing the folks and ought to be recalled. When residents are exercising their rights there ought to be no intimidation as to what occurred with the Grand Forks Police exhibiting up on the citizen’s dwelling.

North Dakota is a pleasant state, and neighbors cooperate with one another. China’s ruthlessness in persecuting its residents over spiritual rights and human rights doesn’t must be documented. It has been frequent data for a number of generations. The CCP-owned plant will ignore western customs and never make the neighbor that different communities in our state welcome. It can function a canopy for the CCP to steal secrets and techniques and applied sciences from our navy bases, sacrificing nationwide safety. Moreover the bottom at Grand Forks, we now have one other navy base within the state, Minot Air Power Base, that could possibly be compromised.

Economically, it will likely be too costly for agricultural facilities of corn growers to market the corn to a mill in North Dakota. The worth of diesel gasoline, and the scarcity of truck drivers, together with intensive rules in interstate transportation, will make the mill unprofitable.

We now have a fantastic life in North Dakota now, I urge everybody to contact their state legislators, and governor to cease the proposed Chinese language corn mill. Let’s stress “Made in North Dakota,” not “invite our enemies to infiltrate North Dakota.”
