"Washington has forgotten how to listen. The Good Lord has given us two ears and one mouth, and we are encouraged to use them in this percentage. Good ideas on what can help North Dakota continue to prosper can come from anywhere. You just have to listen. Other lawmakers in D.C. ask me why I do all these radio talk shows. I do, on average, four a week. Over the past two years, I’ve done over 300 of these discussions with citizens of our state. And I’ve learned something each and every time! Good ideas can come just as easily from the barista at Starbucks as the banker on main street."
