PETITION FOR A WRITTEN ORDER BY THE DISTRICT COURT
DIRECTING THAT A GRAND JURY BE CONVENED IN DUNN
COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA, PURSUANT TO N.D.C.C. CHAPTER 29-10.1
-- SIGNED BY THE REQUISITE NUMBER OF QUALIFIED ELECTORS
OF DUNN COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
__________________________________________________________________
Whenever directed by the district court, the grand jury shall inquire into . . .
2. Willful and corrupt misconduct in office of public officials of every description
in the county; and
exploration companies affiliated with individuals and entities which also contributed political
campaign money to Governor Jack Dalrymple through his campaign committee. See, the
attached map depicting the leased tracts within the Corral Creek-Bakken Unit as leased by
oil and gas companies related to political campaign money contributors to Governor
Dalrymples campaign committee, attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 2.
By Governor Jack Dalrymples acceptance of political campaign money from persons who had
and continuing to have financial interests in this imminent and pending administrative
proceeding, and by knowing that his official action as Chair of the North Dakota Industrial
Commission could affect those persons interests in that administrative proceeding relating to the
Corral Creek-Bakken Unit, a prima facie case exists under N.D.C.C. 12.1-12-01(3) that
North Dakotas Class C Felony Bribery statute has been violated by Governor Dalrymple.
In addition, because of the establishment by the North Dakota Industrial Commission of the
30,883.94-acre Corral Creek-Bakken Unit, and existing North Dakota law relating to the Oil
Extraction Tax-exempt status of so-called stripper wells -- whereby the presence of a single
approved stripper well could immunize the entire 30,883.94-acre mega unit from
contributing Oil Extraction Tax revenue to the State of North Dakota -- Governor Jack
Dalrymple, immediately caused a potential loss of dozens of millions of dollars in Oil Extraction
Tax revenue for the State of North Dakota, as well as the nullification of contingent lease term
provisions in the many oil and gas lease contracts between mineral interest owners (MIO) -- both
private individuals and state owned whose property lies within the contours of this mega unit.
Furthermore, evidence exists that the establishment of this Corral Creek-Bakken Unit -- which
was directly created by Governor Dalrymples official adjudicative action as Chair of the threemember of the North Industrial Commission -- has severely reduced royalty payments for private
mineral interest owners of tracts located within the huge 30,883.94-acrea area of this mega
unit.
