Last update: 6 hours ago

Childcare Crunch: Nearly 1,900 North Dakota families are stuck on a waitlist for state childcare assistance, as lawmakers weigh a draft that would add $9 million to reduce the backlog. Consumer Finance: North Dakota is set to receive $54,756 from a multistate $15.5 million settlement tied to NewRez LLC improperly charging “force-placed” insurance costs to thousands of borrowers. Healthcare Leadership: Essentia Health named Jason Craig executive vice president of administration and operations, tasking him with overseeing system operations across Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin. Energy & Costs: GasBuddy reports the lowest premium gas in Grand Forks County at $4.25/gallon for the week ending Aug. 8, while statewide averages eased slightly. Policy & Business Climate: A new special-session conversation is heating up around childcare aid, alongside broader debate over how states fund essential services.
