Gov. Jack Dalrymple: North Dakota ‘strong and growing stronger’

North Dakota lawmakers must keep their focus on improving the state’s economy, even though it is among the strongest in a nation beset by job woes, Gov. Jack Dalrymple said Tuesday in his first State of the State speech on the Legislature’s opening day.

"We are setting our own course and reaping the rewards of our hard work, our careful fiscal management, our pro-business climate and our diversified economy," Dalrymple told a joint session of the state House and Senate. "I am fortunate today to be able to say, with complete confidence, that the state of our state is strong and growing stronger."
