(Bismarck, ND) — North Dakota State Attorney General Drew Wrigley is not planning on investigating the North Dakota Development Fund. His announcement follows a recent audit that claims there could be over 90-million dollars that were lost. The fund is operated by the state Department of Commerce and two of the fund’s board members resigned last week, Jim Albrecht and Rob Lindberg.
