North Dakota's House passes bill to cut $1.2M in funding for Prairie Public, broadcaster faces scrutiny.
North Dakota's House of Representatives has passed House Bill 1255, which aims to cut $1.2 million in state funding for Prairie Public, the state's largest public broadcaster. The bill passed 48-41 and now moves to the Senate. Supporters argue Prairie Public has enough revenue and assets, while opponents say the funding is essential for early education and emergency communications. The bill also provides an opportunity to scrutinize the organization for potential editorial bias. If not approved by the Senate, funding will continue.
