Doesn't Want Explosive Derailments "On Her Head" -- North Dakota State Senator Connie Triplett

Update

Later, 8:51 p.m. CT: 100% of the readers who weighed in on this subject said I was completely wrong on suggesting "promoting the oil industry" should come under the purview of the Commerce Department of North Dakota. Apparently the Commerce Department is no friend of the oil and gas industry in North Dakota -- it explains why not one Democrat supported Senator Triplett's bill to move "crude oil promotion" to the commerce department.

It appears I have never been so wrong in any post on this blog. LOL. It turns out that EagleFordTexas is also wrong, thinking Dems wanted to keep this a "talking point." In fact, even the Dems knew how crazy this idea was from the very beginning. They did not want this "on their heads" either.

 

Original Note

Saying she doesn't want any more explosive derailments "on her head" suggests ....  well, I'm not sure what it suggests....

... whatever ...

Not one Democrat in the North Dakota legislature supported Ms Triplett's attempt to separate "promotion" from "regulation" of the North Dakota oil industry. EagleFordTexas is suggesting that the Dems in North Dakota would rather keep this a talking point than doing anything about it.

All her bill would have done was move "promotion of North Dakota oil industry" to the Commerce Department in North Dakota (where I have to agree -- makes sense) and out of the hands of the NDIC.

Whatever.
