http://bismarcktribune.com/bakken/state-officials-denounce-new-york-times-report/article_b88a6c20-74f8-11e4-8887-535e3a5d91c8.htmlState officials Tuesday denounced a months-long investigative report conducted by the New York Times that ran last weekend as being an inaccurate portrayal of how state has regulated the oil and gas industry in recent years.
Multiple North Dakota landowners were featured, one who said the report revealed a side of the industry most North Dakotans either arent aware of or choose to ignore.
The New York Times story paints a broad, negative picture of North Dakotas regulatory regime as being overly lenient toward industry. It alleges a cozy relationship between industry and the Gov. Jack Dalrymples office as well as with the North Dakota Industrial Commission, the Department of Mineral Resources and the Department of Health.
Dalrymples office issued a statement Tuesday taking exception with the story.
