[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 255904, member: 3373"] From the first comment there are a couple things that stick out to me, as well as some of the other comments. First is that it appears this expenditure is a result for the Parks and Recreation budget. If so I'm guessing the Parks and Recreation requested the expenditure in a line item, not as a separate bill in the legislature. If that is the case then perhaps they also requested expenditures in the Minot or Bismarck, or some other part to the state as well. Their purpose is to improve the Parks and Recreation of the state. It is true that this cacti collection is world class and was left to the International Peace Garden by and individual from Minot. Is the expenditure necessary? Probably not necessary but certainly has some value. Kind of ranks in the category as the state museum in Bismarck, the state fair in Minot or the state parks around the state. Next, Jon Nelson is not an old white guy with an R next to his name, he's white but everything else does not fit. He supported the bill which isn't uncommon for any legislator to support something that is in their district area. He wasn't the only one vote to in favor. I live fairly close to the International Peace Garden and don't go there often but you do have to admit that a Garden, dedicated to Peace between two countries, the only one in the world, has value and deserves continued fiscal support.
