Legislative session ends with record high state budget

With legislative session over, the state’s budget is final.  The 2021-2023 budget is a record breaking one at nearly $17 billion.

Thanks to leftover federal coronavirus relief funds, North Dakota lawmakers said the budget didn’t end up as tight as they’d originally feared it would be during the pandemic.
