Gary Emineth is back with a unique episode focusing on the recent special session that took place from October 23-25. This particular session was called due to a Supreme Court decision that declared a bill, known as the "Christmas Tree Bill," unconstitutional. This is big news, and it's essential to understand what this means for North Dakotans.

But what's the background? The NDPERS Board, which consists of eleven dedicated members, is responsible for overseeing several retirement systems in North Dakota. This includes systems for Public Employees, Judges, the Highway Patrol, the National Guard, Public Safety, and the Job Service. These are vital systems that affect many people's lives, and it's crucial that they operate smoothly and fairly.

On today's show, we have special guests to provide their insights on the matter. First, we'll be joined by Sen. David Hogue from District 38 in Minot, who will share his perspective on the situation. After that, Jim Casper from District 46 in Fargo will join Gary to discuss his personal experiences with retirement funds – offering a unique view from someone who has been directly impacted.

Lastly, we'll hear from Dustin Gawrylow, the Managing Director of Watchdog Network, who will provide an analysis of the special session and its implications. With his expertise, he'll shed light on the intricacies of the session and what it means for the future of North Dakota.
