N.D. House sustains Armstrong’s veto on tax credit relating to prison industries

(BISMARCK, ND) – The North Dakota House just voted in favor of sustaining Governor Armstrong’s first veto of the legislative session, which essentially kills an override effort.

It comes days after the state Senate voted to override the veto concerning a bill that provides tax credits to companies buying products made by prison inmates

Armstrong argued the bill would give Rough Rider Industries, a state agency that trains inmates who create products, an unfair advantage over out-of-state manufacturers
