North Dakota AG Wrigley Not Investigating Development Fund

(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. Wrigley says the state already represents and defends some of the board members so he is not allowed to do an investigation. Wrigley says he is confident that if criminal activity took place, investigators in the individual counties and cities can pursue the case.
