Fargo

I appreciate the opportunity once a month to have Fargo PD join the conversation here on After News Live.

As many of you have been pointing out, whether it's on social media or in our tax club, about street violations.

That's why we got Captain Moser back here from Fargo PD to have a conversation about what the latest.

Captain, welcome.

How have you been?

Yeah.

When it comes to, you know, these car groups, I know we've had the conversation before, but we got new listeners every day.

You, as Fargo PD, have tried to approach it and visit with some of these groups saying, hey, look, you can be a car enthusiast, just be within the lines and the limitations of the law, but it's not always met with warm embraces,

Here's today's forecast.

WDAY storm tracker

happy Monday.

Fargo Moorhead mostly cloudy.

A chance for some spotty rain showers, especially South of town.

It will be a chilly day after a cold start.

It is Monday, October 26th.

It's near average but slightly below.

Average high today in Fargo is right at 50 degrees 48 for Grand Forks.

Wind is light out of the northeast at 5 to 15, but any little movement that you do feel.

We'll make it feel a little bit colder.

It's always hard for sure.

Okay, to your morning news headlines now.

Tonight, Fargo City leaders could approve a new tax incentive program aimed at redeveloping underused buildings, but with some changes.

The city is considering a payment in lieu of taxes or pilot program that could offer up to 100% property tax incentive for 10 years.

But, you know, that's a pretty specific place to be looking.

And then, you know, I kind of wanted to find something where I always knock on Fargo, North Dakota.

If there is a world where I would need to be at the business full time, I didn't want it to be Fargo, North Dakota.

So the geography mattered.

And then finally, I think as it got more into the world of, you know, obviously you do kind of your quick diligence on different businesses.

And we're seeing some of that and we're navigating it.

Now, if we go all the way back to talking about deal box and being specific about geography, that wasn't just purely, well, I wouldn't want to move to this place or that place, you know.

a slower new construction market is going to hit a pretty well-groomed city of Des Moines, Iowa, or Fargo, North Dakota, a lot harder than the really growing coastal area like Wilmington.

My question for you, Scott, was...

What do you think about the idea of a state like North Dakota for state-level politics banning outside money from coming in? Because we saw things like the Fargo election, the mayoral race receiving tens of thousands of dollars from Democrat super PACs from out of state, from Virginia and California, that these big-time donors who don't live in North Dakota are trying to get into our politics.

I understand it for especially like federal elections.

But at the state level, should we be trying to prevent people who don't live here from getting their money involved in trying to convince North Dakotans for voting things that they shouldn't support?

to help out Michelle Fischbach when she ran for Congress the first time and we helped her get elected.

So really cool to be on here this morning.

Really enjoyed my time that I spent in Fargo way back when with Charlie.

So it's cool to be on here and talk about the midterms.

But you just walk on the Minnesota campus the way I did.

It's a different world than when I'm going to walk up to campus here in North Fargo tomorrow.

There's 40,000 kids that go there.

It was an unbelievable atmosphere.

Like, had great friends there.

I mean, I went to... you know, college when I was 19 at North Dakota state and Fargo and met a ton of my friends from Minnesota there that were like my best friends until I literally left Minnesota for like at 28.

So for like nine years, like these guys were like my best friends.

So like, definitely miss that community.

This just popped up.

Quick trip by his former Alaris Financial Building in West Fargo.

They did, yeah.

Now, interestingly enough, as many as are around here...
