Thank you Jerry2,

This is not what we elected Wayne to do. Wayne, Drew and the Horse Racing group from Wayne's office, went after RSI and Susan Bala with out any facts or evidence, they took her business down. Once they get away with this, what is to stop them from crushing other North Dakota business.

Feel free to read the eight circuit's over turned conviction of Susan Bala / RSI. She or RSI did nothing wrong!

Drew and Wayne should be held responsible for the money they took and be put in prison to teach these thugs, "better not do it again". If anyone else did this that is just what would happen!

This topic has been around for a long time and I'm thinking they (Wayne and Drew) wish it would go away, or I go away. Since we have gone over 10K views with only 18 posts is really something special! How many votes did Wayne get? I'm not ever going away.

Funny how they don't have any answers to my posts anymore.

Have a nice day... Wayne & A. Stenejhem, Drew Wriggley, and your band of thugs.

Stenehjem can forever forget being Governor if he doesn't make something happen and that nickname stays. For right or wrong he's a part of this thing now. Reply...

I couldnt agree with you more Dan. I dont see why  people go GOO GOO  GA GA  over Wayne He hasnt done anything spectacular. He just puts his stamp on whatever someone else did. Just Like OBAMA He hasnt done NOTHING for the year hes been in office and will continue to put this country in a Economic Depression but hey its OK Its  PRESIDENT OMBAMA Hes the Greatest president in US HISTORY!! WAKE THE F$$$K UP PEOPLE!! Reply...

Wayne is in an elected office and Drew was a political appointment - - paid by the public to serve. Not to make up false evidence.
They are not above the law or being questioned. When "political figures" can't be questioned, we've got some serious problems.

Facts are facts - - they've got some answering to do. They went after Susan Bala's RSI with-out any true facts or evidence of wrong doing, took everything she had earned in 20 years of starting / running a "New" business in North Dakota.

If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding? It's time we stand up and say this is wrong and they Wayne, Drew, Mike Cichy, and the rest need to pay for what they have done!

Wayne isn't so great, and needs to go!

Kevin Cramer can pull the TEA Party vote.
Duane Sand can pull the TEA Party vote. Plus Sand has a lot of cash.
Paul Sorum could pull the TEA Party vote.
Robert Harms could pull the TEA Paty vote.
Fong? I doubt it.
Stenehjem? For right or wrong his name is attached to the Fighting Sioux nickname. He saves that then that would be something, but...
Tony Clark? Doubt it. Like Fong, kind of green or boring.
Hoeven? Won't pull TEA Party vote. Maybe 25%. He'll be exposed for what he is and that is someone will get on the pork train and spend, spend, spend.
Drew Wrigley? See Fong and Clark. To boring.
Peter Welte? I think he would beat Pomeroy once people got to know him.
Ed Schafer? Would win hands down.
Scott Hennen? Alerus Center would come back and bite him. Hoeven obsession would hurt him as well.
So of the candidates, Hoeven could probably beat a Pomeroy (maybe) and a low level Democrat. Not Joel Heitkamp IMO. Not sure about Ed Schultz.
Others would would win are Sand, Sorum, Cramer, and Schafer. They are actually fiscally responsible. The other guys are cool, but not ready.
Hoeven needs to take care of family issues before I can 100% judge him. Reply...

Politics are actually kind of fun again. 

Let me add that if Ed Schultz runs against Hoeven that it will be the most entertaining race in years.  Ed will actually call out Hoeven.  I won't vote for either but it will be funny all the same.

Does this site ever put candidates on it? I want to learn more about Paul Sorum. I want to vote Dorgan out of office. Sorum sounds like a good candidate. Reply...

Dear Dakota Dan (comma)

Way to hit me where it hurts(comma) in my lack of information on my news profile(period)  I'm suprised you just didn't come back with the "sticks and stones may break my bones" defense(period)  I'm done talking to you(exclamation point)

Dear A Stenehjem

Just keep writing, more people have read this than voted for Wayne. I fight for this country everyday too. Please don't stop your powerful words.

This site topic was started to promote the great Wayne Stenehjem.

Who's hiding, "Question Mark" with nothing filled out about your background. Typical! Reply...

Dakota Dan,

First off, whats my point?  I'll use small words and simple sentences in order for you to understand, since you seemed to have missed it last time.  If you have a problem with the way elected officials run things, complaining about it over a news forum isn't the way to handle it.  Go out and try to change it.  Try and get people on your side.  Bring it up to the Supreme Court if you have to.  Try and find some one who will do a better job. If you think that person is you then step up. Hiding behind your computer screen is pointless. 

Secondly, don't you even try to tell me whats "hard".  You have no idea what I do.  I promise it isn't some cushy job like you have trying to sell renewable energy.   While you sit in your home and wonder what you're going to complain about next,  I'm out of the United States defending your right to say what you want.   I don't need to defend what Wayne does. He's a grown man and can take care of himself.   But what you don't seem to get is that while you're at home rooting for the next big crash in NASCAR, people are trying to make this world a better place the best way they can.  Instead of complaining, we're doing.

Hay Dan, what party do you back?

What party does Wayne back?

I don't know the answers to either question, but I can guess they are not the same.

Dear A. Stenehjem,

Just catching up on your October 11th KXNet.com "Wayne Stenehjem" posting

I have to ask, what's your point? That the poor people who run for public office have it so rough and being a "political figure" is so hard they need our sympathy? Or should get a pass?

You want to know what's hard? Building a business, creating jobs, not getting taxed into oblivion, taking care of your family

I'm afraid you've got it backwards. It's the responsibility of everyone to hold "political figures" accountable. It has nothing
to do with the temperature of my ice-cream.

Wayne is in an elected office and Drew was a political appointment paid by the public to serve.
They are not above the law or being questioned. When "political figures" can't be questioned, we've got some serious problems.

Facts are facts they've got some answering to do.

How about we start with fabrication of evidence to get an Indictment i.e. the Bala case overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals?

What in the world was Drew Wriggley doing stomping all over a North Dakota company because of a false claim started by Mike Cichy? A claim that RSI was "running a simulcast site that needed a second license"? Well, it turns out that RSI wasn't running a simulcast site, and it was already licensed by the State for Account Wagering.

And this was after Wayne Stenehjem took over RSI just months after the Account Wagering began because he said it owed millions in taxes. It turns out there was no tax for Account Wagering in the State law and there was no deadline to pay parimutuel taxes period. They didn't get around to correcting the legislation or putting rules until 2007. Quite a gap.

Stenehjem and Wriggley ran to the press, a Grand Jury, and a trial jury telling everybody a false story. They even said RSI hadn't paid Federal taxes when it had!

All fabrications against an honest business person who started a business from nothing, had paid over $26-million in taxes to North Dakota, built a State industry, and was rewarded by being sent to federal prison for not breaking any laws. She LOST everything... business, home, health, reputation ... everything! How much tax has wonderful Wayne paid? Or Drew?

After they'd been out there showboating for the cameras and run RSI into the ground they weren't about to lose face and back down.

Maybe Wayne wouldn't enjoy 70% of the vote of the fair minded people of North Dakota if the public knew his actions in this case maybe Drew wouldn't have that political future he wants so badly. Maybe that's why Wayne and Drew did what they did to railroad this case rather than admit they were wrong something those "political figures" really do have a hard time doing.

This injustice was wrong from the start. The North Dakota Racing Commission could and should have handled this from the beginning. Wayne and Drew abused the power of their offices. When the government attacks a business and innocent person like this, they need to MAN-UP.

"Grow a set"? I think that's been done that's what it takes to stand up to "political figures".

Dear Dakota Dan,

Why don't you stop insulting ND's politicans over the news website. If you really had a problem with what they do you would stop hiding behind your stupid Yoda avatar and show your face in public. I bet you're the type of person who complains that your ice cream is to cold.  You try and find faults in everyone elses life and business but cant handle the truth about your own failed attemps and shattered dreams. If you think you're Gods gift to everything then grow a pair and run for office yourself. Then you'll see how hard it is to be a political figure. Wayne and Drew both have and are doing an outstanding job. If Wayne wins his elections by 70% then I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one voting for him. If he wasn't doing a good job then he wouldn't be elected every election. Think about it, just because you write a long post dosen't mean you're smart.

Knowing how the Good Ol' Boy Network works, Susan Bala's attorney shouldn't be surprised - - this case is one more proof they can get away lying, acting like thugs, and breaking the laws they are hired to uphold. I was at the arguments before the Appeals Court - - again these guys made untrue statements to the Court. The Court told Wrigley in plain English, he was wrong. If this stands, it will be another injustice.

The self serving Drew Wrigley says he just didn't have enough evidence to do his job? Not so. The facts are the Appeals Court actually said there was "no basis" for his criminal case and that he "failed to provide evidence to support ANY of the charges".

These guys have fought to keep the facts out of this case, mis-stated the law, and mis-lead the public from the beginning. The facts will stand. She didn't break any laws and she should get back what they illegally took from her.

Why should any business want to move to or start a business in North Dakota when overly ambitious political wannabes can come in, take over your business, ruin it, and never have to answer for it? Drew and Wayne should be held accountable like everybody else.

Now Drew Wrigley will be the one to find reasons to get away with rejecting your health insurance claims and make sure they don't have to cover you.

Sorry to say the truth is, Wayne and his Good Ol' Boy Network has to go!
When ever you put your friends and family ahead of the LAW... Then who is the Bad Guy!

If you knew what a real Idiot was you wouldn't be so quick to point the finger at me. What make you so ga-ah over Wayne? or anyone else that doesn't follow the Law. Reply...
