Good morning, Grand Forks.
🏛️ Government
Gov. Kelly Armstrong has made interim state Labor Commissioner Zachary Greenberg the permanent commissioner after he led the department since January.
Greenberg—born in Winnipeg and a graduate of the University of Minnesota Crookston and the University of North Dakota School of Law in Grand Forks—worked as a law clerk in 2022 and then served as a legal and policy advisor in the governor’s office.
Three of five county commissioners called for firing Correctional Center Administrator Bret Burkholder after the state said he did not follow spending guidelines for a state grant.
The county sheriff’s office, which oversees his role, must act since only the sheriff can remove him.
Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed House Bill 1503—Tyanna’s Law—on Wednesday with strong support from lawmakers.
The law, inspired by teen Tyanna Weeks from Minot who was hurt in a DUI crash last January, upgrades the penalty for causing harm while driving under the influence to a B felony with a maximum sentence of 10 years and will go into effect Aug. 1.
