But this bunch will likely take a pass on getting mad. Getting even, however, well, that's something Gilmore can count on. Gilmore's department is the least important office in state government with little substantive work to accomplish that couldn't be farmed out to other departments without so much as a disruptive ripple. N.D. voters said this Constitutionally mandated office must stay. Today, a Senate committee will be considering a bill that would further cut Gilmore's duties.
Fewer duties means a smaller budget.
Gilmore is an elected official. She has a job. However, Gilmore's actions are putting the jobs of her staff at risk. Gilmore's petulant ways are an embarrassment. Apparently, though, not to her.
